As the Director of Clinical Pharmacology Modelling and Simulation (CPMS) you will be part of a science driven group delivering clinical pharmacology and modelling & simulation excellence to research and development programs. You'll have the opportunity to work on both small molecules and biologics and contribute, as a member of a multi-disciplinary team, to the design of an efficient clinical development program, robust registration package and support life cycle management of an asset. This position can be based at GSK US at the Collegeville, PA or Raleigh-Durham, NC or Waltham, MA locations and can be remote based within the east coast time zone. This role will provide YOU the opportunity to lead key activities to progress YOUR career. These responsibilities include some of the following: Provide optimal application of Clinical Pharmacokinetic (PK), Pharmacodynamic (PD), and Modeling & Simulation (MS) principles towards efficient drug development, risk management, and registration of compounds Play a central role in predicting human dose range, characterizing exposure-response relationship and justifying dose recommendations for special populations. Develop mathematical models to understand disease, its progression, and drug pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics; conduct meta-analyses as appropriate to generate knowledge through data re-use; conduct simulations to assess trial design performance Present strategy and discuss outcome of model-based approaches via interactions with governance boards and regulatory agencies Provide a thorough understanding and ability to apply appropriate FDA and ICH guidelines in the design of clinical studies and drug development strategy Promote model-informed drug discovery and development (MID3) through external collaboration, journal publication and conference presentation. Design and interpret clinical pharmacology studies to evaluate potential effects of intrinsic and extrinsic factors on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics Identify opportunities to utilize in silico PBPK approaches to replace in vivo clinical studies to explore the impact of DDI and special populations on PK where appropriate Write sections of drug development and registration documents such as clinical trial protocols and reports, clinical investigator brochures and regulatory submission packages Learn and apply emerging modelling and simulation methodologies with a view to enhance clinical program efficiency and investment decision quality; collaborate with external field-leading teams for methodology application Innovate through working effectively with colleagues in the department and other matrix team members, including: statisticians, biologists, physicians and drug metabolism scientists Why you?
