Are you energized by networking with key opinion leaders and leveraging your broad scientific expertise to accelerate the development of medicines?  If so, this Clinical Pharmacology Manager role could be an exciting opportunity to explore.

As a Clinical Pharmacology Manager, you will be responsible for providing deep scientific knowledge and expertise in early medicine development, and to work alongside other experts to relate these findings to the safety of medicines in patients.

This role will provide YOU the opportunity to lead key activities to progress YOUR career, these responsibilities include some of the following…

• Develop the scientific strategy, along with other experts, to improve our understanding of xenobiotic chemistry and their biotransformation pathways (structural alerts) and how these link to biological mechanisms of toxicity.
• Collaborate with the Computational & Modelling Science group to integrate findings into qualitative systems biology models.
• Work with Insight from Data and Computational & Modelling Science groups to help create knowledge databases to develop reports using retrospective and competitor information and establish relational rules for toxicity.
• Advance our knowledge of the enzymes and their impact on preclinical-clinical translation (species differences) and prediction of clinical variability in patient populations (polymorphisms, impact of disease).
• Evaluate/direct potential innovative drug metabolism/biotransformation research areas and/or apply innovative solutions to project problems, including design of bespoke studies and application of differential development.
• Contextualize and extrapolate drug metabolism/biotransformation findings and discuss data with program/project teams, internal advisory groups as well as Senior Leaders & Regulators.
• Represent GSK on external working groups to advance our understanding of drug metabolism / biotransformation mechanisms from preclinical findings to the clinical setting.
• Communicate, interact and influence others and act as mentor, coach, trainer and consultant in understanding biotransformation pathways.
