Daniela Slavin
@danielaslavin
Director of Clinical Development Science leading global Phase I–III oncology trials and regulatory-ready data delivery.
What I'm looking for
I’m a strategic clinical development leader with deep experience in oncology drug development across Phase I–III trials. I provide scientific and executive-level oversight from study start-up through clinical study reports and regulatory submissions, ensuring programs are executed within scope, timelines, and budget.
I co-develop clinical program strategy and study-level plans with Medical Directors, driving critical decisions on indication selection, endpoint definition, and protocol optimization. I lead clinical data review, query generation, and analysis to protect data integrity and enable timely, high-impact decision-making for regulatory and business outcomes.
Across my work, I partner cross-functionally with Clinical Operations, Biometrics, Safety/Pharmacovigilance, Regulatory, and Translational teams to align execution with governance and risk–benefit priorities. I also provide scientific oversight of CROs and vendors, engage KOLs and investigators, deliver external scientific content, and mentor junior scientists—backed by a strong translational science foundation from high-throughput screening and mechanistic research.
