• Act as the clinical decision-maker for study teams, partnering with Clinical Operations and CRO partners to deliver high-quality studies on time and within budget.
• Provide medical oversight of ongoing clinical trials to ensure data integrity and sound interpretation, in line with ICH-GCP, applicable regulations and company SOPs.
• Build strong relationships with key opinion leaders and investigators, and represent Ipsen at investigator meetings, advisory boards and scientific congresses.
