The Biopharmacy group at the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences investigates mechanisms underlying drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. A central focus of our research is the role of drug transporters and drug-metabolizing enzymes in these processes. Both transporters and enzymes are influenced by multiple factors, including naturally occurring genetic variants, which contribute to interindividual differences in drug response and safety.
We employ a translational approach that integrates preclinical in vitro and in vivo studies with clinical investigations in our mechanistic research. Our goal is to identify predictive factors that determine a molecule's pharmacokinetic behavior and, ultimately, therapeutic outcomes.

Your position

• Explore, develop, and conceptualize research questions and experimental strategies to elucidate the role of drug transporters and/or metabolizing enzymes in drug disposition.
• Critically analyze data, drive the publication of results in peer-reviewed journals, and present findings at national and international scientific meetings.
• Actively contribute to a collaborative research environment, including the supervision and mentoring of junior researchers.
• Contribute to teaching activities in Biopharmacy, fostering an engaging and supportive learning environment.
• Foster and manage relationships with internal and external partners to support collaborative research efforts and ensure strategic alignment

Your profile

• PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences or closely related fields
• Excellent communication skills
• Curious, open minded and highly motivated to excel in scientific research
• Strong background in pharmacokinetics
• Experience with in vivo animal or clinical studies
• Proven publication record including at least two first-author publication in a reputable, international peer reviewed journal
• Prior expertise in analytical techniques and/or molecular biology is considered an asset
