What are some common challenges faced by professionals in full-time PBPK modeling roles, and how can they be addressed?

Professionals working full-time in PBPK (Physiologically-Based Pharmacokinetic) modeling often encounter challenges such as integrating complex biological data, managing large datasets, and ensuring model accuracy across diverse populations. Navigating evolving regulatory requirements and staying current with software tools can also be demanding. These challenges can be addressed by collaborating closely with interdisciplinary teams, attending relevant training or workshops, and maintaining open communication with regulatory and clinical partners to ensure models are robust and compliant.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Full Time PBPK (Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic) Modeler, and why are they important?

A Full Time PBPK Modeler needs expertise in pharmacokinetics, mathematical modeling, and a background in pharmaceutical sciences or a related field, typically with an advanced degree (MS/PhD). Proficiency in modeling software such as Simcyp, GastroPlus, or PK-Sim, along with familiarity with programming languages like R or MATLAB, is standard. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for interpreting data and collaborating with interdisciplinary teams. These skills ensure accurate modeling predictions, support drug development decisions, and facilitate regulatory submissions.

What is the difference between Full Time Pbpk Modeling vs Pharmacometric Modeling?

AspectFull Time Pbpk ModelingPharmacometric Modeling
Required CredentialsAdvanced degrees in pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, or related fields; often certifications in modelingSimilar credentials; often includes pharmacometrics certifications or advanced degrees
Work EnvironmentPharmaceutical companies, biotech firms, research institutions; focus on drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretionSame environments; emphasis on dose-response relationships and clinical trial data analysis
Industry UsageUsed for predicting drug behavior in populations, dose optimization, and regulatory submissionsUsed for understanding clinical efficacy, safety, and dose adjustments based on patient data

Full Time Pbpk Modeling and Pharmacometric Modeling share similar credentials and work environments, but differ in focus. Pbpk modeling emphasizes predicting drug behavior in the body using physiologically based models, while pharmacometric modeling concentrates on analyzing clinical data to inform dosing and efficacy.

What is PBPK modeling and what does a full-time PBPK modeler do?

PBPK modeling stands for Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic modeling. A full-time PBPK modeler develops mathematical models that simulate the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of drugs in the body using physiological and biochemical parameters. This work helps predict how drugs behave in different populations, support drug development, and inform regulatory submissions. PBPK modelers often collaborate with pharmacologists, toxicologists, and regulatory scientists to optimize drug dosing and assess safety.

Job description

Madrigal is a biopharmaceutical company focused on delivering novel therapeutics for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), a serious liver disease that can progress to cirrhosis, liver failure, need for liver transplantation and premature mortality. Every member of our Madrigal team is connected by our shared purpose: leading the fight against MASH.
Madrigal's medication, Rezdiffra (resmetirom), is a once-daily, oral, liver-directed THR-ฮฒ agonist designed to target key underlying causes of MASH. Rezdiffra is the first and only medication approved by both the FDA and European Commission for the treatment of MASH with moderate to advanced fibrosis (F2 to F3). An ongoing Phase 3 outcomes trial is evaluating Rezdiffra for the treatment of compensated MASH cirrhosis (F4c).
Our success is driven by our people. We are building a dynamic, inclusive, and high-performing culture that values scientific excellence, operational rigor, and collaboration. To support our continued growth, we are strengthening our workforce strategy to ensure we have the right talent, at the right time, in the right way.
The Senior Director, ADME will provide technical leadership and execution for ADME activities supporting nonclinical and clinical development programs. This role is primarily responsible for nonclinical ADME strategy and oversight, while supporting Clinical Pharmacology and early clinical development as a subject matter expert.
This individual will bring deep expertise in drug metabolism, with working knowledge across broader ADME disciplines, and will oversee all ADME studies conducted through CRO partners. The role requires strong hands-on scientific judgment to design, interpret, and integrate ADME data to support program decisions and regulatory submissions.
Key Responsibilities
  • Serve as the ADME subject matter expert, with deep expertise in metabolism
  • Define and execute ADME strategies in collaboration with functional area leads
  • Design, oversee, and interpret nonclinical ADME studies (in vitro and in vivo)
  • Manage CROs, including vendor selection, study design, protocol development, and report review
  • Ensure ADME data are scientifically sound and aligned with regulatory expectations
  • Support clinical development through ADME input, including DDI risk assessment, PBPK modeling, and human ADME (mass balance) study design and interpretation
  • Integrate nonclinical and emerging clinical PK data to inform ADME strategy and study design
  • Author and review ADME sections of regulatory submissions (IND/CTA, NDA) and support regulatory interactions

Qualifications
Education & Experience
  • Ph.D. in Pharmacokinetics, Drug Metabolism, Pharmaceutical Sciences, or related discipline (or equivalent experience)
  • 15+ years of ADME experience in pharmaceutical or biotechnology drug development
  • Experience supporting both nonclinical and clinical programs

Technical Expertise
  • Deep expertise in drug metabolism (required)
  • Working knowledge of transporters and broader ADME sciences
  • Strong experience designing and interpreting ADME studies
  • Experience with PBPK modeling and human ADME (mass balance) studies preferred

Core Competencies
  • Strong scientific judgment and attention to detail
  • Hands-on, execution-focused approach
  • Effective communicator within technical and cross-functional teams
  • Ability to operate in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
