We are looking for a Principal Pharmacokineticist that will support PK and PK/PD (PPK/PD) requirements for Discovery and IND-stage project teams. Efforts include providing PK and PK/PD input/oversight and direction to early preclinical/nonclinical in vivo studies, interfacing with TFA scientific staff performing the preclinical studies and directing/managing non-clinical PK studies, preparing and presenting the PK/PD analyses to internal project teams and senior management, and writing summary reports and documents to support regulatory filings.
A day in the life of the Principal Scientist may look like:
-
Serve on Discovery-stage project teams as a subject matter authority for Preclinical Pharmacokinetics / Pharmacodynamics, providing input to the design of preclinical PK/pharmacology studies.
-
Collaborate optimally with various groups within Regeneron, including Therapeutic Proteins, Therapeutic Function Areas, Assay Development, Precision Medicine, Preclinical Operations and PPK/PD management developing a PK strategy for each project and then delivering the required output.
-
Effectively communicate project team queries, requests and expectations (i.e. timing and results) from the Project Teams to management.
-
Conduct and report PPK/PD analyses using data derived from preclinical (nonclinical) studies.
-
Work in close association with the Toxicology, Pathology, Clinical Pharmacology (CP) and Quantitative Pharmacology (modeling & simulation) functions, within the Drug Safety and Pharmacometrics (DSP) Department, to deliver the required data and study reports / regulatory documents to support project progression.
-
Maintain an up-to-date knowledge of the relevant scientific literature as well as regulatory guidance and best practices as they pertain to PPK/PD.
We feel this might be the role for you if:

You want exposure to multiple Therapeutic areas and new modalities
To be considered qualified we require:
-
A PhD in Pharmacology, Pharmacokinetics, Biology/Molecular Biology or Biochemistry, with > 5-8 years of relevant, proven experience (Biotech or Pharma).
-
An in-depth theoretical and applied understanding of PK and PD, in order to describe and understand the pharmacology/biology of therapeutic proteins; experience with other modalities including siRNA and CRISPR based therapeutics, and cell therapies would be extremely beneficial
-
A proven track record to plan, coordinate and lead all aspects of PK and/or PK/PD studies and analyze PK/PD data.
-
Excellent communication (written/verbal), presentation, influencing and leadership skills
-
Knowledge of and experience with relevant PK/PD software applications (e.g., WinNonLin) is desirable, as is experience in drafting PK reports and relevant IND sections.
