Overview
The Medical Science Liaison (MSL) is a field-based scientific resource that strategically and tactically supports the development, medical, and scientific objectives of ***’s gene therapy portfolio/pipeline's different phases of development. The MSL will work closely with the Sr Director Medical Affairs CNS therapeutic Area lead, the Field Medical Advisor Gene Therapy (FMAGT), and the Clinical Operations & Clinical Development teams to ensure successful performance of clinical trials from early feasibility to study completion. They will act as a peer scientific guide, communicating accurate and applicable scientific and medical information to Principal/Sub-Investigators and KOLs, and collecting relevant data for *** from the field. The MSL reports to the Sr Director Medical Affairs- Therapeutic Area Lead CNS. This role aligns medical affairs with clinical development, medical communications, field engagement, and evidence generation, drawing on expertise in clinical research, therapeutic innovation, and cross-functional collaboration to ensure medical excellence from early development through commercialization.
Responsibilities
Clinical Trial Support Develop, maintain, manage, and link relationships within investigational sites and referral networks to raise awareness of the clinical trial and help maximize enrollment goals. Drive identification of potential sites and investigators for clinical trials. Collaborate with Clinical Development and Operations teams to support trial feasibility and effective study implementation. Enhance clinical operations to support/reduce recruitment and retention through education, training, and clinical discussions with investigators and study teams. Support the development of patient referral networks within geographic areas. Identify effective prescreening strategies for each trial and recommend improvements. Work with the study team to develop, plan, and execute strategies to increase enrollment at the site level. Support the Development CNS Center Of Excellence Map considering KOLs/TLs, geographic footprint, referral network, capacity, and infrastructure. External Engagement & Development Establish a network of KOLs focused on clinical management of ***’s therapeutic areas of interest. Identify new KOL/HCPs for future engagement, including clinical researchers, scientific advisors, and medical educators. Collect medical insights from scientific exchanges with investigators and thought leaders. Attend and support key Medical/Scientific meetings to evaluate the field and identify improvements in trial design, conduct, awareness, and recruitment/retention. Support Therapeutic Area Scientific/Clinical National and Regional Advisory Board meetings as required. Collaborate with the Director of Patient Advocacy and Sr Director Medical Affairs to support patient advocacy initiatives aligned with program and product strategies. Cross-functionally identify feasibility and interest of investigators for Investigator Initiated Studies (IIS) aligned with the asset and pipeline.
