Valerie Kramlinger, PhD
Title: Scientist, Pharmacokinetics and Drug Metabolism
Role: Drug Metabolism Scientist for Pharmacokinetics and Drug Metabolism in Cambridge, Massachusetts
Valerie Kramlinger is a Scientist in the Pharmacokinetics and Drug Metabolism Department at Amgen. Before joining the pharmaceutical industry in 2016, Valerie received her BS in Chemistry and PhD in Biochemistry from the University of Minnesota. She studied cytochrome P450-mediated small-molecule metabolism during a postdoctoral research fellowship at Vanderbilt University. At Amgen, Valerie works with a diverse group of scientists in drug discovery and development towards the goal of understanding the chemical and biological basis of the enzymatic and non-enzymatic effects of the mammalian body on potential new drugs. This knowledge ultimately underwrites the selection of dosage and dose schedule for non-clinical and clinical safety and efficacy assessments.
