Dr. Georgi Kapitanov, PhD has been passionate about Mathematical Biology for over a decade.
As a Senior Director, QSP at Certara/Applied BioMath, he leads modeler trainings and implementation of MIDD strategies in various disease areas and drug modalities at all stages of the drug development process.
Prior to joining Applied BioMath, for 5 years he worked at Pfizer Inc. as a modeler in their biologics preclinical translational modeling group. There he used mechanistic systems biology models to advise the discovery teams on target feasibility, lead development, and candidate selection. He also assisted the clinical pharmacology teams with efficacious and starting dose projections.
Dr. Kapitanov received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Vanderbilt University in 2012, developing an age-structured model of cancer cell proliferation and mutation acquisition. He did Visiting Assistant Professorships at Purdue and the University of Iowa, teaching Math and expanding his Mathematical Biology portfolio of projects, techniques, and areas.
