Syed Saadi Manzoor
@syedsaadimanzoor
Pharmacovigilance and regulatory affairs professional specializing in ICSR processing, risk analysis, and GMP/GDP compliance.
What I'm looking for
I’m a dedicated Drug Regulatory Affairs professional with extensive experience across clinical research, patient data collection, diagnosis pharmacovigilance, and quality assurance in pharmaceutical and medical device environments. I focus on managing ICSR processing, risk analysis, and regulatory documentation with strong attention to compliance.
In my recent work, I processed Individual Case Safety Reports (ICSRs), handled query management, coded events using WHO DD and MedDRA, and supported serious adverse event analysis and reporting. I also worked with ARGUS Safety Database and contributed to local risk minimization measures tied to urgent safety restrictions and emerging safety concerns.
I bring additional depth from quality and clinical settings—auditing and monitoring under GMP/GDP and supporting quality management aligned to DIN EN ISO 9001. I’m also experienced with EU In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR) 2017/746 documentation (e.g., PMF, CE marking documentation, declarations of conformity) and maintaining regulatory labeling compliance through the product lifecycle.
