Career Development Session: Navigating Your Clinical Pharmacology and/or Pharmacometrics Career in the Age of AI: Building Resilience Through Uncertainty Moderators Nieves Velez de Mendizabal, PhD Executive Director & Head of Pharmacometrics Eli Lilly & Company Sam Miles, MSECE Lead Automation & AI Engineer for PK/PD Eli Lilly & Company Panelists Robert Bies, PharmD, PhD Professor Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences University at Buffalo Samuel Callisto, PhD Senior Scientist II Metrum Research Group Tomoyuki Mizuno, PhD, FCP Associate Professor of Pediatrics Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center Recorded 4/15/2026 at the 2026 MPRINT Annual Meeting. This career development panel explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping the fields of clinical pharmacology, pharmacometrics, and model-informed drug development. Panelists from academia, industry, and consulting discuss the opportunities and challenges presented by rapidly evolving AI technologies and share perspectives on building successful careers in an increasingly automated and data-driven environment. The discussion examines how AI is currently being integrated into pharmacometrics workflows, drug development, modeling and simulation, data analysis, and scientific decision making. Panelists address concerns about workforce disruption while highlighting the importance of developing adaptable skills that complement emerging technologies rather than compete with them. Topics include the future role of pharmacometricians, the value of domain expertise in an AI-enabled workplace, strategies for career resilience, and approaches to continuous learning throughout one's professional career. Panelists also discuss communication skills, leadership development, interdisciplinary collaboration, and how trainees can position themselves for long-term success in a rapidly changing scientific landscape. The session provides practical advice for students, trainees, early-career investigators, and established professionals seeking to navigate uncertainty while taking advantage of new opportunities created by advances in artificial intelligence.
