- Relevant experience in the pharmaceutical industry, CRO or clinical research environment, preferably involving generic product development and regulatory submissions.
- Hands-on experience in planning and monitoring BA/BE studies, including protocol review, clinical phase monitoring and final study report review.
- Experience in review of bioanalytical method validation and bioanalytical study reports, preferably involving LC-MS/MS-based methods.
- Good understanding of pharmacokinetic and statistical evaluation of BE studies, including Cmax, AUC, Tmax and 90% confidence intervals.
- Demonstrated experience in preparation and scientific review of clinical and non-clinical CTD/eCTD documentation, particularly relevant sections of Modules 2, 4 and 5.
- Experience in reviewing non-clinical pharmacology, pharmacokinetics and toxicology information and assessing its adequacy for regulatory submission.
