We are searching for the best talent for a Senior Scientist, Preclinical Sciences & Translational Safety Translational Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics to be located in Spring House, PA or San Diego, CA.

Purpose: We are looking for a Translational PK/PD scientist to join our Translational Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Investigational Toxicology (TPPIT) group, part of Preclinical Sciences and Translational Safety (PSTS) organization.

This position will be responsible for serving as a translational PK/PD representative on project teams, conducting mechanistic PK/PD studies and providing modeling and simulation support across multiple modalities (protein, ADC, synthetics, siRNA and cellular therapeutics), across multiple therapeutic areas.

Using both experimental and computational tools, this individual will enable relevant forward and reverse translation for projects and platform efforts and support timely decision-making for programs across different stages of development.

You will be responsible for:



* Independently developing fit-for-purpose mathematical models (e.g., PK/PD, mechanism-based, QSP) to inform target selection, drug design, modality selection, candidate optimization and selection, and inform clinical study design (e.g., human PK/PD prediction, FIH dose selection, and efficacious dose projections) through identifying and addressing critical knowledge gaps.
 


* Determining and designing critical path experiments and delivering high quality results to effectively inform program decisions.
 


* Collaborating closely with biologists, chemists, protein engineers, toxicologists, bioanalytical scientists, clinical pharmacologists and ...
