“You want people who will get in the boat & row with you.”
Every hire matters, esp when resources are scarce. @mattkaufmanTMG shared a great tip at our Lunch & Learn: Don’t just hire for the role you need today. Hire people who can grow with the company & take on what comes next.
How does pre-clinical data de-risk regulatory & clinical strategy? We got tips from experts Greg Kaluza, MD, PhD & Thanasy Peppas, who run the Skirball Center for Innovation (@crfheart) at a recent Lunch & Learn: linkedin.com/feed/update/urn…
Our innovation partner, @elcaminohealth, never misses an opportunity to recognize the rich cultural diversity of its physicians and team members—and the multicultural community it serves with compassion and innovation every day.
