About this position

This FDA fellowship focuses on bioequivalence for complex generic drug products, with research centered on difficult-to-characterize formulations and dosage forms. The project spans parenteral, intrauterine, intravaginal, ophthalmic, otic, inhalation, nasal, topical, transdermal, and transmucosal products, and aims to understand formulations approved under abbreviated new drug applications and NDAs.

Working in the Office of Generic Drugs / Office of Research and Standards within the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, the participant will help identify and develop in vitro, in vivo, and in silico techniques to evaluate how complexity factors influence test-product performance relative to the reference listed drug. The fellowship also addresses scientific gaps in applying novel technologies to characterize complex generic products and support product development.

Under the guidance of mentor Yan Wang, the participant will gain experience with the scientific and regulatory challenges involved in establishing bioequivalence for complex topical, transdermal, and transmucosal products, including combination drug-device products. The opportunity emphasizes collaboration across disciplines and the development of new study designs for regulatory science applications at the FDA in Silver Spring, Maryland.

Funding details

Monthly stipend commensurate with educational level and experience; appointment initially for one year and may be renewed contingent on FDA recommendation and availability of funds.
