Major Activities / Tasks

- Data management, Modeling and Simulation deliverables
- Manage the data required to perform the POPPK analysis
- Develop and validate population PK / PKPD / exposure-response models to support designing clinical studies and facilitate biowaivers within the Model Informed Drug Development (MIDD) paradigm
- Run clinical trial simulations to predict - Dose-response, Special population PK, Alternative dosing regimens etc
- Regulatory deliverables
- Prepare POPPK reports for Clinical pharmacology sections (NDA/ANDA/505b2) and develop model documentations
- Support regulatory queries and Label recommendations
- Cross-functional team (CFT) management
- Engage with multiple internal (clinical regulatory) and external stakeholders (consultants and consulting firms) to design and streamline solutions for emerging challenges to achieve deliverables. Facilitate CFT to resolve the issues / concerns / problems / challenges pertinent to achieve deliverables
