Iain Gardner, PhD

Dr. Gardner has been at Certara since 2011. He leads the science team that is responsible for further developments of the population-based physiologically-based PK/PD simulators to meet the needs of Simcyp Consortium members. Prior to joining Certara, he spent 12 years working in the Pharmacokinetics, Dynamics and Metabolism Department at Pfizer Global Research & Development in the UK and the US. In this role, Gardner was responsible for optimizing pharmacokinetics (PK) properties of compounds for Drug Discovery projects and resolving any ADME issues for projects later in Development. He is particularly interested in prediction of human PK and application of in silico physiologically based PK approaches to projects. Before joining Pfizer, Dr. Gardner worked as a postdoctoral scientist at University of Toronto, Canada and Imperial College, UK investigating the links between the metabolism and toxicity of drugs and chemicals. He earned his PhD at the University of Sheffield.
