Physiomics Physiomics plc (AIM: PYC) is an Oxford-based contract research organisation and consultancy specialising in the application of mathematical and data science solutions to support the development of therapeutic drugs and personalised medicine dosing software. Physiomics has a current turnover of circa £1m p.a. It has a high-profile brand and an established customer base of clients in the UK, Europe and North America. Physiomics takes a collaborative approach to provide clients with bespoke solutions encompassing data, analytics and insight. Physiomics is structured in two service-lines; Model Informed Drug Development (MIDD) and Biometrics. The Company’s MIDD service-line provides a full range of pharmacokinetic/ pharmacodynamic contract services to companies ranging from biotechs to some of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world, across multiple therapeutic areas. The Company uses a range of commercially available software solutions but also maintains its own proprietary Virtual Tumour™ model which simulates the effects of anti-cancer agents on pre-clinical and human tumours, helping clients to improve the success rate of drug discovery and development projects while reducing time and cost. The MIDD service-line has completed over 140 commercial projects, involving over 125 targets and drugs, and has worked with clients such as Merck KGaA, Numab Therapeutics, Cancer Research UK and Bicycle Therapeutics, to name but a few. The Company recently expanded its contract services into the field of Biometrics, which is run as a separate service-line and provides biostatistics, statistical programming and data management solutions. Even though only recently launched, this service-line is already delivering on several client contracts and has a rapidly growing pipeline of opportunities being progressed. Separately from its contract services business, Physiomics has won several Innovate UK and NIHR grants which it has used to develop a software tool to personalise the dose of chemotherapy. It has an ongoing collaboration with US company, DoseMe, and has incorporated this tool into their existing commercial platform (DoseMeRx).

The role will require occasional travel (in the UK and abroad) to clients, networking activities, and meetings with stakeholders. The company currently has 12 permanent employees (including Board Directors) and utilises contractors to provide additional capacity and expertise when required.
