  • Expertise in population PK, PK/PD, mechanistic modeling (e.g., PBPK), and quantitative data analysis, with a proven ability to apply these approaches to inform clinical development and regulatory strategy
  • Proficiency in industry-standard pharmacometrics tools and programming languages (e.g., NONMEM, Monolix, NLME, Simcyp, R)
  • Strong understanding of global regulatory expectations and guidance (e.g., FDA, EMA) related to clinical pharmacology and model-informed drug development (MIDD)
  • Excellent analytical, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate complex quantitative findings into clear, actionable insights
  • Strong written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills, with experience presenting to internal teams and external stakeholders.
