Possible Interview Questions and Answers:
1. Can you explain the principles of pharmacokinetics?
Answer: Pharmacokinetics is the study of how the body processes drugs. It involves four main processes: absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination (ADME). These processes determine how a drug is absorbed into the bloodstream, distributed throughout the body, metabolized, and eventually eliminated.
2. What experience do you have with developing and validating pharmacokinetic assays?
Answer: In my previous role at [Previous Company], I was responsible for developing and
validating pharmacokinetic assays for several drug candidates. This involved designing assay protocols, optimizing assay conditions, and ensuring their compliance with regulatory guidelines such as GLP (Good Laboratory Practices) and GCP (Good Clinical Practices).
3. How do you ensure data accuracy and reliability in pharmacokinetic assays?
Answer: To ensure data accuracy and reliability, I follow rigorous quality control procedures. This includes properly calibrating instruments, running appropriate controls, and performing method validation studies. Additionally, I maintain detailed documentation and conduct regular peer reviews of data to minimize errors.
4. Can you describe your experience with immunogenicity assays?
Answer: In my previous role, I was involved in the development and execution of
immunogenicity assays, including ADA (anti-drug antibody) assays. This included optimizing assay conditions, validating methods, and conducting sample analysis to assess the immunogenicity potential of drug candidates.
5. How do you handle unexpected assay results or data discrepancies?
Answer: When faced with unexpected results or data discrepancies, I follow a systematic
approach. First, I review the assay protocol and ensure that all steps were performed correctly. I also check for any potential issues with reagents or equipment. If the issue persists, I collaborate with team members to troubleshoot and identify the root cause, and if necessary, repeat the experiment.
