With a constantly increasing demand for information from regulatory and reimbursement agencies, Observational research (OR) has become a critical area in drug development and commercialization.

Responsibilities:

• Designing and executing studies to support evidence generation such as identifying appropriate patient populations, assessing disease burden and resource utilization, obtaining product registrations and label-expansions, meeting post-marketing requirements/commitments and product differentiation.
• Finding opportunities to substitute for and/or complement interventional studies to reduce time and cost of drug development.
• Influencing cross-functional partners in the utilization and timing of non-interventional research to answer high-priority strategic business questions.
• Demonstrating real-world data and CfOR analytic approaches to inform high-value business decisions for multiple partners.
