Summary
Chayan Acharya is a pharmaceutics and computational science leader with 11+ years of experience blending pharmacometrics, computational chemistry, and biostatistics to advance drug discovery and clinical development. Currently Senior Director and MIDD Consultant at Pharmetheus in Stockholm, he has built population PK/PD models, developed an R package for PK model diagnostics, and created statistical methods to assess parameter significance in PK models. His background includes eight years as a computational chemist where he developed structural databases, force fields, and ligand/target design tools, and multiple postdoctoral roles refining peptide docking benchmarks and force-field parameterization. Comfortable bridging interdisciplinary teams, he combines rigorous physics and statistical training with hands-on software and database development to translate biochemical insight into practical modeling solutions. Less obvious: he pairs deep academic modeling expertise with production-ready tooling, making him effective at both method innovation and operationalizing models for clinical decision-making.
