Responsible for the development and implementation of the model-informed drug development (MIDD) strategy for drugs and other therapeutic agents in clinical development.

MIDD has emerged as a powerful complement to conventional drug development whereby pharmacometric (PMx: pharmacokinetic, exposure-response, and disease progression) models are developed with data from a variety of sources are utilized to inform drug development decisions and regulatory assessments. MIDD informs dose and regimen selection and hypotheses to be investigated in clinical studies; and supports regulatory assessments of the clinical pharmacology, and benefit-risk profile of a therapeutic agent by complementing data from clinical studies. Additionally, PMx analyses may also inform approval decisions, and in some cases be the primary basis for the approval.
