Biography
Pau Aceves joined Certara Strategic Consulting in February 2017. Pharmacist by training, and with previous work experience in diverse aspects of the Pharmacy practice—including Community, Clinical and Production Pharmacy—Pau focused his professional career path in the field of Quantitative Clinical Pharmacology (QCP) and PK/PD Modeling & Simulation, since 2006. Pau Aceves holds a Master’s Degree in PK/PD Modeling & Simulation from the University of Manchester in the UK. His MSc project was on an Exploratory Quantitaitve Systems Pharmacology Model (QSP) of the Squalene Synthase Inhibitor Lapaquistat Acetate. In addition to having worked on QCP-type studies (ie, food effect, bioavailability, DDIs), Pau also has a wide range of experience on other modalities, including: First-in-human (SAD/MAD), Proof-of-mechanism (PoM), Proof-of-concept (PoC), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), and highly complex combination (or umbrella-type) protocols; as well as experience interacting with regulatory agencies (FDA, EMEA) at various stages of drug development. He brings to Certara a total of 11 years of QCP experience in the design, analysis and reporting of studies in a wide range of therapeutic areas across all phases of drug development. Pau always enjoys devising innovative strategies to streamline and maximize the value of clinical development programmes by combining efficient clinical strategies with fit-for-purpose PK/PD analysis methods, eg, Population PK/PD, Physiologically-based Pharmacokinetic modeling, and Quantitative Systems Pharmacology approaches.
