In support of this goal, the Pharmacokinetics/ Pharmacodynamics and Pharmacometrics, (PMx) organization provides leadership and technical expertise to support the discovery and development of new medicines from preclinical lead molecule identification to clinical post-drug approval, with the goal of identifying and developing the right drug with the right dose for the right patient using model-informed drug research and development (MIDD) approaches. To further advance the science in this field, we are seeking a scientific director who is experienced in mechanistic PK, PK/PD, and/or PBPK modeling of novel modalities.
We are passionate about making an impact in the lives of our patients, developing people to their full potential, and pushing the boundaries of science. Consider joining Team Lilly to contribute to Lilly's drug discovery and development efforts.
Key Responsibilities:

• Serve as the Discovery PKPD project leader for genetic medicines programs, including ASOs, siRNA, LNP-mediated delivery, gene therapy (AAV and non-viral vectors), and antibody-siRNA conjugates (ARC).
• Develop and implement modeling strategies that enhance decision-making for genetic medicines inform translational research strategies.
• Design, analyze, and interpret quantitative pharmacology and PK/PD studies.
• Collaborate effectively with scientists within and outside the functional area to integrate PK/PD into team strategy and contribute to project team discussions, guiding key go/no-go decisions with quantitative approaches.
• Communicate quantitative findings both internally and externally through scientific publications, conference presentations, and cross-functional forums.
• Mentor junior scientists and contribute to the growth of PKPD modeling capabilities within the genetic medicines space and neuroscience space.

Basic Qualifications:

• Therapeutic area expertise within neuroscience.
• Experience with PKPD or PBPK modeling applied to oligonucleotide therapeutics (ASO, siRNA), LNP delivery platforms, gene therapy (AAV or non-viral), and/or antibody-siRNA conjugates (ARCs).
• Understanding of the outstanding disposition, intracellular delivery, tissue distribution, and Pharmacodynamics and durability of nucleic acid-based therapeutics.
• Excellent self-management, organizational skills, and ability to manage multiple programs simultaneously.
• Publication record in peer-reviewed journals in quantitative pharmacology, genetic medicines, or related fields.
