Build strategic alliances with pharmaceutical companies, academia, and companies in other industries such as healthcare, IT, and finance.

Requirements

Lead the execution of partnering strategies and the creation of results in new disease areas, not just existing ones.
Lead complex development-stage alliances (including clinical trials and dosage form development) to maximize value.
