BUSINESS BACKGROUND



   since 01.2021 Calyx separated from Parexel

Vice President Scientific & Medical Services

Medical and Imaging related responsibility for charter development and successful study conduct for Patient Technology Solutions in Medical Imaging.
As Global Head of Oncology my office is in Berlin Germany and as a Board certified Radiologist I have Medical training and background in both Germany and the U.S.A. Throughout my career with PAREXEL since now nearly 18 years I medically and scientifically led and managed the imaging components of more than 500 clinical trials, developed equally as many imaging charters for various indications and complexities and thus far supported with these contributions the approval of 24 new oncology medications. I regularly present at international conferences and publish on Imaging in Clinical Trials, especially regarding the use of standardized review criteria and imaging-based endpoints with a more recent focus on immune-oncology. I am co-author of the immune-related response criteria (irRC, 2009) and first author of irRECIST (2014). In this function I'm leading a team of 30+ staff reporting up to me globally. My Masters in Business Administration in Health Care Management is from the University of California, Irvine and the Ph.D. in Radiology in Computer Tomography Radiation Modulation and Reduction is from the University of Munich.
