  • Lead and assist in the preparation of relevant sections of INDs, IBs, CTDs and other regulatory documents for development and registration of new drugs and line extensions; interact with FDA, EMA, PMDA and other regulatory agencies.
  • Provide coaching and mentoring to fellow scientists within the group and in other disciplines as well as interact, teach and collaborate with academia.
