About Me

My journey into pharmacometrics was an unconventional one, and began during my time as a journalist intern at Novartis Pharma AG, where I was introduced to the intricacies of Model-Informed Drug Development (MIDD). Working closely with modellers there, I gained first-hand insight into how mathematical models and simulations shape decision-making in drug development, sparking a fascination that would thereafter define my career.

While I initially approached medical and scientific writing from a background in writing and journalism more broadly, I quickly honed my expertise in pharmacometrics through hands-on training under the guidance of my father, who happened to be Executive Director of Pharmacometrics at Novartis at the time, Dr. Phil Lowe. This training, combined with regular on the job experience, equipped me with a deep understanding of pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and the entire drug development process, from preclinical safety testing to Phase 3 clinical trials. Dad later retired, and founded It’s all in the Dose Ltd as a way to stay involved in the PKPD world, by which time I was finishing up my PhD as well, and got involved as a scientific writer. 

Years later, with Dad wanting to actually retire now thank you very much, I have largely taken over It’s all in the Dose, and now work as a writing and publishing consultant for pharmacometric and other biotech clients, specialising in transforming complex data and simulation results into manuscripts. My work also supports pharmaceutical clients in advancing research, submitting journal articles, and improving patient outcomes. Additionally, I assist in the creation of regulatory reports, marketing deliverables, conference minutes and transcripts as well as presentations, providing a comprehensive suite of medical communications services tailored to the unique needs of the industry.
