About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Provide scientific and strategic leadership for translational clinical pharmacology across a diverse pipeline from early development through late-stage and registrational programs
- Develop and execute clinical pharmacology strategies addressing CNS exposure, dose optimization, and translational relevance
- Lead collection and interpretation of in vitro, in vivo, literature, competitive-source, and clinical data to develop a translational knowledge base
- Drive dose selection and optimization by integrating PK, PD, safety, efficacy, and CNS-specific biomarkers
- Lead model-informed drug development, including population PK, PK/PD, and exposure–response analyses
- Assess and guide strategies for CNS exposure, brain penetration, target engagement, and translational biomarkers
- Lead clinical pharmacology strategy for CNS and neuroscience programs from first-in-human through registrational and post-marketing stages
- Design, execute, and interpret clinical pharmacology studies, including FIH, multiple-ascending dose, DDI, biopharmaceutics, and patient studies
- Serve as clinical pharmacology lead on program teams, clinical sub-teams, and trial working groups
- Author and oversee clinical pharmacology sections of regulatory documents, including INDs, CTAs, IBs, and NDAs
