• Trial Design & Endpoint Strategy: Conduct literature reviews and evaluate clinical data to support scientific rationales, select robust primary/secondary/exploratory study endpoints, and refine study design strategies.
• Cross-Functional Partnership: Serve as the primary scientific liaison for clinical trial site/s, CROs, and external investigators while collaborating closely with Medical Directors, Clinical Operations, Clinical Pharmacology, Biostatistics, and Regulatory Affairs.
• Regulatory & Scientific Dissemination: Author and review clinical components of regulatory submissions (INDs, CTAs, NDAs/BLAs) and contribute to scientific abstracts, manuscripts, and conference presentations.
• Governance & Oversight: Prepare for and present scientific data during Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) meetings, Advisory Board meetings, and Investigator Meetings.

Qualifications
