Title: Drug Development & RWE Lead At Inovia Bio we believe that drug development is in dire need of disruptive thinking.
The current ecosystem supporting biopharmaceutical companies is typified by slow, archaic incumbents that extract as much value as possible from drug developers and their companies while often delivering utter garbage.
We're changing that!
From the way data is used to make early decisions through to how development plans can be accelerated and de-risked, there are significant opportunities to get drugs to patients faster.
Your role will be central to our mission of revolutionising drug development.
Who are we?
Inovia Bio is a TechBio Startup based in London.
We partner with innovative biopharmaceutical companies by providing both our proprietary technology platforms and expertise to deliver unprecedented impact to their programs.
We are the company drug developers dream of working with and the company CROs dread .
An Atypical Role: The clinical development & RWE lead at Inovia operates differently – We believe that drug development can only be solved by the merging of medicine and technology…and so will you!
