- Apply this across the pilot's set of drugs and indications
Requirements
- US-based epidemiologist
- Familiarity with biotech/pharma development programs
- Experience turning real-world data (claims, EHR, registries) into patient funnels
- 5+ years practising epidemiology (graduate degree in epidemiology, biostatistics, or public health)
Engagement Details
- Duration: Approximately 10–20 hours over a 1–2 week pilot
