Qualifications
5+ years of hands-on DMPK experience supporting programs from discovery through IND, or direct ownership of IND-reaching programs
Background at big pharma or CROs supporting large pharma IND programs
Proven ability to translate CRO bioanalytical data, in vitro ADME results, and in vivo PK study reports into FDA-ready IND DMPK submissions
Strong proficiency in PK modeling, with experience in at least one PBPK platform (Simcyp, GastroPlus, or PK-Sim)
End-to-end ADME fluency
Comfortable working independently as the primary DMPK voice in an advisory capacity
