Background

Chengwen Teng, Pharm.D., Ph.D., M.S., is an Assistant Professor at the University of South Carolina College of Pharmacy. He earned his Ph.D. in Translational Science from the University of Texas at Austin, his Pharm.D. from the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, a Master of Science degree in biological sciences from the University of Southern Mississippi, and a Bachelor of Science degree in biology from Wuhan University. Dr. Teng is a pharmacist licensed in the United States. 

Dr. Teng is passionate about improving human health and promoting the safe use of medications. Currently, he is working on the identification of new adverse drug reactions, drug-drug interactions, and drug-disease interactions, and is comparing drug safety and effectiveness profiles using spontaneous reporting systems, electronic health records, and other databases. In addition to health outcomes research, Dr. Teng had research experience in pharmacology, immunology, and biochemistry. 

Dr. Teng is a member of the Professional Society for Health Economics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR), American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, American Pharmacists Association, American Society of Health System Pharmacists, and Society of Infectious Diseases Pharmacists.
