Translational PKPD internship Review

The translational PKPD team provides global leadership in DMPK science on Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs) at AstraZeneca. We advise drug discovery project teams on DMPK and PKPD strategy, explore the PK/PD/Efficacy relationships in pre-clinical models, use these models to build quantitative understanding of the dose & schedule requirements for therapeutic intervention across different cancer patient populations.
Embedded within the Clinical Pharmacology and Quantitative Pharmacology (CPQP) department, we work closely with Clinical Pharmacology colleagues - this positioning provides a unique bridge from discovery to the clinic, offering opportunity to also learn about Drug Clinical Development phases. As an intern, you will help advance our translational PKPD approaches for ADCs —contributing analyses that inform dose selection, schedule optimization, and mechanistic understanding— while gaining hands-on exposure to model-based decision-making in a highly collaborative, impact-driven environment.

Yes, I worked on the a project on my own with the help of line manager.

Yes, I have learned how to use the modelling software and developed deeper understanding of PKPD.

A lot, my line manager is really responsive and helpful.

it is great, everyone is willing to help and is really nice to me.

super enjoyed
