About Joyce
Joyce Macwan is a Principal Scientist in the Simulations Studies group where she primarily focuses on modeling and simulations to support consulting projects for the pharmaceutical industry. She has extensive experience in mechanistic absorption and PBPK/PBBM modeling to assist model-informed drug discovery and development.
She earned her Ph.D. in Clinical Pharmacokinetics from the University of Rhode Island, RI, USA and B.S. and M.S. degrees in pharmaceutical sciences from Sardar Patel University, India.
Her expertise in model-based drug development facilitates the decision-making process during drug discovery and through various stages of drug development by integrating the knowledge of drug metabolism, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, formulation, and pathophysiological factors. She has worked on numerous studies including formulation optimization, bioequivalence studies, first-in-human dose predictions, drug-drug interactions, disease states modeling, and pediatric drug development across different therapeutics areas and routes of administrations. She has been involved in many studies that informed regulatory decisions. She continues to contribute to scientific community by her peer-reviewed publications and presentations at the various conferences.
