- Support client presentations and bid defenses; identify clinical red flags in early-stage projects. Track trial design trends (adaptive, biomarker-driven). Maintain regulatory awareness (FDA, EMA, NMPA) on endpoints and safety reporting
Skills
- MD (board certification in oncology/rheumatology/neurology/immunology strongly preferred)
- 5–8 years in biopharma/clinical research, with ≥3 years direct clinical development (medical monitor, clinical scientist, or CRO advisor), preferably in leading Phase 1 trials in China and/or Australia
