Clinical and regulatory project lead across EU MDR and IVDR, preparing QIAGEN performance evaluation deliverables.
What I'm looking for
At QIAGEN, I led IVDR performance evaluation deliverables and coordinated evidence assessment with scientific and regulatory stakeholders. I reviewed analytical, biological and clinical data to support scientific validity and performance evaluation.
At Flexicare, I led clinical documentation and evidence-review workstreams for MDR lifecycle requirements, PMCF and PMS. I worked with clinical stakeholders and KOLs to align evidence, intended purpose and risk documentation with regulatory and technical colleagues.
At QReg, I led drafting and review of CERs, CEPs, PMCF/PMS plans and reports, SSCPs and regulatory responses. I coordinated technical and clinical input to address evidence gaps and Notified Body questions.
My work spans medical writing, clinical evidence and regulatory projects across medical devices and IVDs. I bring structure to evidence programmes by clarifying deliverables, coordinating input, resolving evidence gaps and preparing documentation for review.
