神経変性疾患および神経筋疾患を含むさまざまな神経疾患を対象とした新規治療薬について、定量的数理モデルを構築し、創薬の研究開発における意思決定を推進します。
前臨床生物学／薬理、ケミストリー／バイオロジクス、前臨床安全性評価、トランスレーショナルメディシン、臨床薬理および臨床開発などのクロスファンクショナルチームと協働し、標的とする生物学的経路と新規治療薬の相互作用、およびそれらが病態進行に与える影響について、数理モデルに基づいて理解を深めることに貢献します。
チームを巻き込んだ最適なモデリング＆シミュレーション戦略を立案し、実行します。創薬候補物質の選択、試験デザインの最適化、バイオマーカー選択に関する意思決定を支援・加速するため、トランスレーショナルなPK/PD/efficacy model, mechanistic modelあるいはsystems modelを設計・構築します。
臨床試験に向けて、ヒトでの薬理活性／有効用量、投与スケジュール、安全域を予測します。そのために、臨床段階の比較薬から得られるベンチマーキング情報や、それらのリバーストランスレーションから得られる知見を有効に活用します。
Drive decision-making in drug discovery and development by building a quantitative model of novel therapeutic agents to treat various neurological diseases including neurodegeneration and neuromuscular diseases.
Work on cross-functional teams with preclinical biology/pharmacology, chemistry/biologics, nonclinical safety assessment, translational medicine, clinical pharmacology and clinical research to develop a quantitative model-based understanding of the interactions of target biological pathways and novel therapeutic agents, and their impact on disease progression.
Formulate and implement team-engaged right modeling & simulation strategy. Design and build translational PK/PD/efficacy and mechanistic and/or systems models to assist and accelerate decisions around drug candidate selection, study design optimization as well as biomarker selection.
Enable translational predictions of human pharmacologically active/efficacious dose, dosing schedule and safety margin for clinical trials. Leverage clinical benchmarking insights from clinical comparators and/or their reverse translation.

Job Description
”Better Health for People, Brighter Future for the World” is the purpose of a company. We aim to create a diverse and inclusive organization where people can thrive, grow and realize their own potential while enabling our purpose. We continue to innovate and drive changes that will transform the lives of patients. We’re looking for like-minded professionals to join us.

Takeda-ism incorporates Integrity, Fairness, Honesty, and Perseverance, with Integrity at the core. They are brought to life through actions based on Patient-Trust-Reputation-Business, in this order.
・Provide statistical support for Takeda preclinical campaigns for design and analysis in the discovery and development of targets and molecules for one or more disease areas.
・Collaborate with Computational Biology, Pharmacokinetics, and Safety scientists to explore methods and implement discovery strategies to enable data-driven decision making.
・Apply frequentist, Bayesian, ML/AI fit-for-purpose statistical analyses across various projects and data types.
・Serve as an expert and mentor in Quantitative Sciences group within implementing statistical development strategies using statistics and cross-disciplinary integrative data analytics.

Accountabilities:
・Lead implementation of SQS strategies and ensure deliverables by representing data science function on project teams in support of preclinical studies throughout the drug discovery units and supporting functions.
・Perform end-to-end data analyses, from hypotheses formulation, experimental design, writing analysis plans, data cleaning, executing analysis, and preparing reports and documentation.
・Strengthen Takeda’s advanced analytics toolkit by identifying, promoting, and applying emerging techniques, as well as by developing novel analysis tools as needed.
・Collaborate effectively within a matrix environment, working with scientists across various areas to understand the problems in terms of its chemistry, biology, and/or physical natures and to tailor data analyses to program-specific needs.
・Work closely with Takeda statisticians to ensure statistical issues in data analysis are addressed.
・Communicate internal and external resource and quality issues that may impact deliverables or timelines of the program. Escalate issues to management as appropriate in a timely manner.
・Respond to regulatory questions that are statistical in nature.
・Increase the external recognition of Takeda’s data science work by participating in conferences, publishing work and developing external collaborations.
