Responsibilities
The Associate Director of Translational/Preclinical Modeling develops and implements quantitative and mechanistic PK/PD models to aid in the understanding of target biology, therapeutic modality selection/optimization, and contributes to early clinical trial dose selection and/or design and advancement and strategic direction of modeling and simulation sciences.
A typical day may include independently developing and implementing quantitative and mechanistic mathematical PK/PD models that inform preclinical‑to‑early clinical translation, including human efficacious dose predictions and first‑in‑human dose selection. Actively contributing to the advancement and strategic direction of modeling and simulation sciences, providing expert support to pre‑clinical PK/PD project representatives and R&D project teams to design, execute and interpret in vitro and in vivo quantitative pharmacology studies. This includes working with the Research PK group to optimize use of mouse PK data to inform translation to nonhuman primate and human PK, effectively integrating and summarizing modeling and simulation analyses into usable information for multidisciplinary project teams, remaining apprised of emerging science and literature, and collaborating with subject matter experts in Clinical Pharmacology, Quantitative Pharmacology, and R&D to advance modeling and simulation sciences. The role also involves presenting work at internal and external scientific meetings and publishing in scientific journals.
Key Qualifications
- Experience using one or more modeling and simulation platforms (e.g., Phoenix NLME, NONMEM, Monolix, ADAPT, MATLAB, SimBiology, etc.)
- Strong theoretical and practical foundation in pharmacokinetics, including non‑compartmental, compartmental, PK/PD, and PBPK.
- Ability to work effectively in a fast‑paced, highly‑matrixed, team‑based environment and leverage scientific reasoning to influence key stakeholders.
- Ability to learn new areas of biological sciences to develop quantitative and mechanistic PK/PD models for emerging therapeutic modalities.
- Familiarity with biotherapeutic modalities, including monoclonal and bispecific antibodies, gene therapy, CAR‑T, siRNAs, and other targeting agents (preferred).
Required Experience
- Ph.D. or M.S. in pharmacokinetics, pharmaceutical sciences, engineering, applied mathematics, or related disciplines with a track record of applying quantitative and mechanism‑based PK/PD modeling and simulation approaches to advance the discovery and development of therapeutics.
- Greater than 6 years of pharmaceutical industry or related experience in developing and applying mechanism‑based PK/PD models to guide R&D teams from early discovery to IND‑stage clinical development.
