A research opportunity is available in the Office of Translational Sciences Office of Clinical Pharmacology (OCP), Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in Silver Spring, Maryland.
This project will develop quantitative systems pharmacology models that combine pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and underlying biology to study the efficacy and safety of drugs for various diseases or conditions. Example areas of modeling are models that combine viral life cycle, human immune responses, and drug actions to predict efficacious drug combinations to treat COVID-19 or modeling the relationship between opioid-receptor interactions and respiratory depression.
Under the guidance of a mentor, the participant will learn to develop individual components of mechanistic models, such as pharmacokinetic models, pharmacodynamic models, systems biology models, and combine them into a prediction framework to evaluate drug efficacy/safety in various areas.
