• Led clinical and scientific engagement with customers in execution of digital biomarker components in interventional trials
• Led projects through all stages (ideation, planning, execution, and delivery) independently
• Participated in content development for submissions required under the IND/BLA process
• Provided thought leadership for developing, adapting, and delivering digital health solutions, defining “what”, “why” and “how” for digital measurement concepts, recommending study/program roadmaps and supporting.
• Worked with internal cross functional teams to contribute to device / assessment selection to ensure measures of right quality were collected with the minimum patient burden
• Engaged in deep literature review and scientific evaluation to identify evidence for concept generation and converted initial evidence into plans for moving digital measures from phenotyping to regulatory approved.
