    • Interact with major health authorities to optimize regulatory strategies and cultivate positive relationships.
    • Prioritize and lead preparations for meetings and discussions with local and global health authority officials, focusing on topics related to biomarkers and innovation.
    • Stay updated on pertinent regulatory policies and guidelines, discerning their implications for clinical and scientific operations.
    • Promote external engagement opportunities, contributing to relevant publications and participating in external speaking engagements to enhance the company's visibility and impact in the regulatory arena.
