compréhension devenir dans l’organisme

French to English Science Medical: Pharmaceuticals
Context: "3. UPC et unité biopharmacie (**compréhension devenir dans l’organisme**, coordination des essais expérimentaux, …)"

The text is part of a job description. UPC stands for "Unité Préclinique et Clinique" and is responsible for conducting studies, but that's all the context I have to offer.

Does it perhaps mean "compréhension *du* devenir [du médicament/de la formule/etc] dans l'oranisme," or is it something else entirely?

Thank you! Any help is appreciated.

neutral liz askew : where does it say this in the source text? No signs of "interactions/molécule" in the source!

If it is the drug we are speaking about.
If it is a person, then it's about the position and prospects.
