About this position
This research opportunity is hosted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), in the Office of Rare Diseases, Pediatrics, Urologic and Reproductive Medicine and the Division of Pediatrics and Maternal Health in Silver Spring, Maryland. The project is based at the FDA White Oak Campus, with a hybrid format that includes some in-person participation.
The opening focuses on pediatric extrapolation in drug development: using adult and pediatric clinical trial data to evaluate the assumptions behind extrapolating pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and safety from adults to children. The FDA team has access to a large body of pediatric trial data, enabling a disease-focused review of selected conditions and treatment programs. The participant will work on a systematic review of adult and pediatric clinical trial evidence, with exposure to data collection from public and proprietary sources, analysis and interpretation, and preparation of research findings for dissemination and publication.
Under mentor Lily Mulugeta, the research experience is designed to build practical understanding of how similarities between adult and pediatric disease, treatment response, and previous studies can be assessed to support better trial design and a framework for optimizing pediatric studies.
