  • Representing BT at relevant departmental, managerial and project meetings.

  • Experience with in-silico tools, AI data analysis and processing, and drug design platforms.
  • Good understanding of the expression/functionality of the enzymes in various in vitro systems and the ability to apply understanding of drug metabolizing enzymes to elucidate biotransformation pathways and identify metabolites based on experimental data and in silico approaches.
