Meet Hillary Husband, a dedicated PK/PD Research Scientist II at MetrumRG. With a passion for solving complex scientific challenges, Hillary plays a vital role in pharmacokinetic (PK) analyses, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to support drug development. Her curiosity and drive extend beyond client projects—she’s actively exploring how AI and machine learning can shape the future of pharmacometrics. We caught up with Hillary to learn more about her role, what motivates her, and how she spends her time outside of work.

We recently had the chance to sit down with Seth Green, who began his journey with MetrumRG in January 2020 and has been an essential leader in the Data Science group. Seth has a diverse background spanning machine learning, applied statistics, big data engineering, and data visualization. He  also brings experience in software engineering, having developed tools and platforms for both the digital advertising and scholarly publishing industries. Before diving into data science, Seth spent nearly a decade touring as a professional musician, adding a unique edge to his technical expertise.

We are excited to announce that Dr. Brian Corrigan will join MetrumRG as Principal Consultant, Strategic Advisory Solutions in January, 2025. With a distinguished career spanning nearly three decades in biopharma,  Brian brings unparalleled leadership and expertise to this newly launched offering.

We are pleased to announce Metrum Research Group's new business offering, Strategic Advisory Solutions. With over two decades of excellence in quantitative approaches to drug development, MetrumRG is advancing these strategies to enterprise-level decision making through this newly formed service.

In this edition of our Employee Spotlight, we are excited to introduce you to Sara Miller. Sara joined MetrumRG in 2021 as a science writer. She completed her PharmD at the University of Connecticut, where she co-founded the CPE-accredited practice-based Medical Writing Certificate Program. Before joining MetrumRG, Sara worked as a freelance medical writer, contributing to publications like Pharmacy Times and Contemporary Clinic. Her passion for writing and promoting science drives her work at MetrumRG.

In this month’s Employee Spotlight, we’re excited to feature Thomas Kenney, MetrumRG’s  Administrative Assistant and member of the Talent & Culture Team. Thomas's role is integral to the smooth functioning of our office.

What do you like most about working at MetrumRG?

"It's hard to choose what I like most about working here. Before joining the civilized working world, the majority of my experience was in fast-paced and high-stress emergency service jobs. I used to work in dimly lit, windowless rooms from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM with a group of over-caffeinated EMTs, police officers, firefighters, and dispatchers.

We're excited to shine the spotlight on Kiersten Utsey, a valued member of our team here at MetrumRG. Her primary focus involves utilizing mechanistic modeling and simulation to support decision-making processes throughout various stages of drug development. This entails synthesizing data from diverse sources, including in vitro studies, animal models, and clinical trials, to construct models that describe both the mechanism of action of drugs and the underlying physiology of diseases. Kiersten initially joined MetrumRG as a Quantitative Systems Pharmacology Intern while working on her Ph.D. in Mathematics at the University of Utah. After graduating from the U, Kiersten transitioned into a role as a research associate at MetrumRG. Quickly advancing, she became a research scientist in our Translational Science and Pharmacology (TSP) group. 

Twenty years ago, the Metrum Research Group journey began. Marc Gastonguay and Jeff Hane founded the company in 2004 with a mission to improve health and defeat disease.

Eric Anderson has been an invaluable member of the MetrumRG team since 2017. Over the years, has contributed a practical and dedicated approach to skillfully navigating the complexities of data.

Eric began his career in the insurance industry as an actuarial analyst. His experience in analyzing insurance data and modeling risk put him in a position to smoothly transition into the field of model-informed drug development at MetrumRG. In his current role, Eric assembles clinical trial data into model-ready datasets, creates visualizations (including interactive dashboards) to help describe data, and develops tools to help facilitate these and other modeling project tasks.

In the spirit of giving back, the MetrumRG team participated in an Annual Toy Drive benefiting Connecticut Children’s.  Over the years,  our team has made the holidays a little brighter by donating hundreds of toys to children throughout Connecticut, Eastern New York, and Western Massachusetts.
