Associate Principal Scientist
Certara Ltd. UK (Simcyp Division), United Kingdom
Dr Maïlys De Sousa Mendes is a senior research scientist in the Simcyp division of Certara.
During her PhD she modelled the transfer of drug across placentas in order to predict foetal exposure using physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models. Maïlys joined the Translational Science in DMPK team at Simcyp in 2016 and has worked in several areas including developing and updating compound files and incorporating the pathway mass balance and back conversion. She is part of the transporter team and is therefore highly involved in updating the transporter models in Simcyp as well as developing the analyse of in-vitro data using the Simcyp In Vitro Analysis (SIVA) toolkit in order to obtain more robust parameters.
