Mathematics in Drug Development (SIAM & IMA Nottingham student chapter seminar)

Speaker's Name: Linnéa Franssen
Speaker's Affiliation: Roche
Speaker's Research Theme(s): School of Mathematical Sciences, Applied Mathematics
Abstract:
Linnéa Franssen, Principal Modeling and Simulation Scientist at Roche, is joining us to share personal reflections and suggestions regarding opportunities to enter the pharmaceutical industry from academia as a modeller.  Linnéa holds a PhD in Mathematical Oncology from the University of St Andrews, following an MSci in Mathematics at the University of Glasgow. She joined Roche as a Postdoc in 2020, where she developed approaches to predict immunogenicity of therapeutic proteins. Transitioning to a permanent Scientist position in 2022, she supports protein therapeutic drug development through model-based predictions that e.g. support the optimization of drug dosing schedules for First-in Human dosing or enable selecting lead drug candidates.
