Job Description
Research Associate Biopharmaceutics
About The Role
Would you like to join a vibrant research lab in the University of Bath?
We are seeking one experienced and motivated Postdoctoral Associate to join our team of scientists and conduct translational research in biopharmaceutics.
The selected candidate will join a research project sponsored by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to advance state-of-the-art physiologically based biopharmaceutics (PBBM)/pharmacokinetics (PBPK) modeling approaches that can inform regulatory decisions on innovator and generic products for locally-acting drugs in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, as a viable alternative to in vivo studies for the establishment of bioequivalence (BE) for these products.
The goal is to generate and evaluate formulation variants, characterize their critical quality attributes (CQAs) and generate physiological relevant in vitro data from different systems for selected commercial formulations. The team in Bath (Department of Life Sciences and Department of Chemical Engineering) will work closely with the scientific team at Simulations Plus to determine the impact of changes to CQAs and physiological variables on local and systemic exposure in patient groups.
In this role, a typical day may include: formulation development, formulation characterisation, gener...
