NONovartis Pharma AG

Translational Medicine Academy fellow for Pharmacokinetics Sciences Modeling & Simulaton(m/w/x)

Basel
Full-timeOn-site

Developing physiology-based PK/PD modeling frameworks linking drug exposure to B-cell and plasma cell kinetics. PhD in quantitative sciences and hands-on mechanistic modeling experience required. Cross-functional exposure, thematic introduction series.

Requirements

  • PhD in quantitative pharmacology/pharmacometrics, bioengineering, systems biology, applied mathematics, biostatistics, computational biology, or related discipline
  • Hands-on experience building and evaluating mechanistic models (ODE/PDE, compartmental, systems pharmacology, PK/PD)
  • Programming proficiency in Python, R, or MATLAB SimBiology; reproducible, modular, well-documented code
  • Experience with biological datasets (preclinical/clinical): cleaning, visualization, model fitting, interpretation
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills; translate complex quantitative findings into clear biological/project implications
  • Background in immunology, particularly B-cell biology, lymphoid tissue organization, or immune cell trafficking
  • Experience modeling biologics and/or cell therapies, including target engagement and cell-killing dynamics
  • Familiarity with PBPK or multi-compartment modeling of immune-cell dynamics in cell-based and T-cell-redirecting therapies
  • Familiarity with PBPK concepts and software (mrgsolve, nlmixr2, NONMEM, Monolix, SimBiology, Stan, or comparable)
  • Coding portfolio related to mechanistic modelling or systems biology
  • Eligibility to work in Switzerland

Tasks

  • Develop physiology-based PK/PD modeling framework
  • Link drug exposure to B-cell and plasma cell kinetics
  • Integrate translational evidence from in vitro, in vivo, and early clinical data
  • Estimate parameters and quantify uncertainty
  • Connect tissue depletion kinetics to immune-reset biomarkers
  • Inform decision-making for B-cell depleting modalities
  • Communicate results through presentations, reports, and manuscripts
  • Partner with immunology, translational, and modeling stakeholders
  • Own end-to-end, production-ready modeling platform
  • Expand expertise in quantitative pharmacology and immunology
  • Optimize dose and schedule for B-cell depleting therapies
  • Experience impact of translational modeling in drug development
