Responsibilities
- Advise on the development of high-quality DMPK training data spanning the discovery-to-IND workflow — including in vitro ADME panels, in vivo PK across preclinical species, metabolite identification, NCA outputs, and PBPK/population PK simulations
- Provide guidance on optimal data sources, including synthetic generation, consortia, licensed datasets, and public PK/ADME databases
- Review and validate AI-generated DMPK outputs — PK parameter estimates, model fits, ADME interpretations, dose projections, and written report sections — for scientific accuracy and regulatory compliance
- Collaborate with our Engineering, Evals, and Science teams to benchmark agent performance against gold-standard DMPK workflows
- Provide expert input to help refine agent logic, data quality, and overall platform capabilities
Skills
- 10+ years of hands-on DMPK experience supporting programs from discovery through IND, or direct ownership of 10+ IND-reaching 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
- Enthusiastic about working with AI/LLM tools to evaluate and improve scientific outputs
- Experience with regulatory DDI strategy, including PBPK-based DDI predictions submitted to FDA/EMA
- PK/PD modeling or quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) experience
- Prior AI/ML work applied to DMPK or ADME property prediction
- Background at big pharma or CROs supporting large pharma IND programs
