In this role, you will:
- Develop clinical pharmacology plans to support the development and registration of Nimbus products
- Be responsible for protocol design of clinical pharmacology trials, study planning, review, data analysis / interpretation, and reporting of individual studies implemented to support clinical pharmacology components of project plans
- Provide strategic quantitative clinical pharmacology input to cross functional clinical development teams
- Determine scope, design, and planning and analysis of early and mid-stage pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) studies, and modeling/simulations required from a drug development and regulatory perspective to take a project from concept to NDA submission
- Lead and prepare appropriate documents or sections of clinical protocols, clinical study reports with respect to Clinical Pharmacology studies or data
- Author regulatory documents (IND’s, NDA’s, IB’s, etc.) and respond to regulatory inquires related to DMPK, PK/PD, and clinical pharmacology
- Oversee clinical study conduct and collaborate with leaders across all functions
- Monitor work with CROs and other external vendors to ensure compliance with agreed protocols, quality standards and timelines
- Review external data, lead analysis, interpretation and reporting of clinical pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data
- Manage bioanalysis and PK activities at CROs and other external vendors
These qualifications will help this role be successful:
- PhD, PharmD or equivalent training in Clinical Pharmacology, Pharmacokinetics, or a related field with 7+ years of biotech or pharmaceutical industry experience as a clinical pharmacologist with proven understanding of drug development
- Strong knowledge of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics principles, immunogenicity, modelling and simulation, Model-Informed Drug Development, ADME Concepts, and regulatory clinical pharmacology requirements to support clinical development and regulatory submission
- Demonstrated track record and ability to manage the clinical pharmacology / pharmacokinetic components of development projects
- Experienced in performing Modeling and Simulation (M&S) in drug development (ie. PK/PD, PBPK, mechanistic modeling, population PK) (preferred)
- Proficiency and experience in using common PK / PD modeling software packages (i.e., Phoenix WinNonlin, NONMEM, R, SAS, and other similar tools)
- Excellent project management skills
- Excellent verbal and written communication and organizational skills required with demonstrated success in leading projects and interacting with cross functional teams
- Ability to navigate, problem-solve, execute, and lead in a dynamic, fast-paced and evolving environment
