P95 Julius Clinical has become AKEURA, a specialist contract research organization (CRO) helping sponsors advance medicines across their full lifecycle. Our dual expertise in early- through late-phase clinical development and real-world evidence is delivered by hands-on clinicians, scientists, and epidemiologists, drawing on more than 25 years of experience. We’re built on the belief that a team of the right people, giving everything they’ve got to the needs of the study, will outperform any other approach. Our team of more than 500 experts spanning five continents has delivered more than 1,000 studies in over 75 countries, including regions where patients are hardest to reach. AKEURA exclusively focuses on three therapeutic areas: neuroscience, infectious diseases and vaccines, and cardiometabolic diseases. Across each, we bring the experience, reach and hands-on expertise to give every promising medicine the study it deserves. • Scientifically leads epidemiological projects with regard to: • the design and development of study protocols as well as the planning and implementation of epidemiological studies • the choice and planning of statistical methods to analyse study data • the identification of epidemiological studies’ risks and mitigation strategies • the interpretation of study results and study reports • the conduct of literature reviews, including systematic literature reviews • manuscript preparation and submission • the preparation of conference presentations. • Supervises and coaches more junior epidemiologists. • Presents study results to clients and in conferences. • Is the point of contact for clients with regard to technical and scientific matters. • Contributes to complex projects, serving as a technical resource.
