The client is seeking an external expert who brings a decision-makers mindset someone who has personally driven translational pharmacology choices under governance and uncertainty.
Who were looking for
-
Has owned FIH starting dose SAD/MAD design and Phase 2 dose selection for multiple assets.
-
Participated in governance or review boards defending dose/exposure rationale in front of senior leadership or regulators.
-
Demonstrates ability to balance nonclinical clinical translation: tox PK PD potency and MoA.
-
Can articulate the real decision calculus behind dose selection (safety pharmacology speed-to-proof).
-
Capable of turning narrative judgment into explicit decision rules and rubrics for AI training and evaluation.
Experience level
-
10 years in major biopharma or biotech (e.g. Lilly Roche AbbVie Amgen Novartis GSK Regeneron Vertex Incyte Gilead) or in specialized translational pharmacology consulting.
-
Has personally led FIH dose and/or SAD/MAD escalation for 23 assets.
-
Proven governance experience: IND sign-off dose justification memos exposureresponse presentations.
-
CV or track record includes statements like led clinical pharmacology strategy and FIH dose selection or accountable for exposureresponse in Phase 1/2.
-
Avoid pure modeling profiles; the ideal expert has decision accountability not just analytical skill.
Expectations
-
Write golden FIH dose rationales and escalation strategies for representative programs.
-
Encode the decision heuristics and trade-offs used by senior translational leaders into structured guidance and rubrics.
-
Surface unwritten decision rules when and why experienced teams override model-based recommendations.
Inputs given:
-
Representative drug programs or data packets (GLP tox summaries PK/PD tables potency & MoA context).
-
Target prompts for translational decision-making (e.g. Recommend FIH dose and escalation strategy given these data).
Expected outputs:
-
Golden Decision Memos: exemplar dose justification memos that reflect the level of reasoning and format expected from top-tier translational pharmacologists.
-
Decision Rubrics: scoring guides capturing acceptable vs. unsafe dose rationales missed edge cases or failure modes.
-
Meta-Layer Commentary: short narrative explaining unspoken heuristics how senior teams weigh risk tolerance potency data or tox uncertainty.
