Meet the Scientist: Julie M. Lade, Scientist in the Pharmacokinetics & Drug Metabolism Department

I am a junior scientist working in the Pharmacokinetics & Drug Metabolism (PKDM) department at Amgen for just over a year now. On a normal day, I try to best allocate my time between performing experiments in the lab, analyzing data that I or others have generated that may inform the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a candidate compound and participating in team meetings with other scientists across functions at Amgen to disseminate this knowledge to help move a program forward.
