TriNetX has snagged Harvard Medical School Associate Professor Jeffrey Brown, Ph.D., as its chief scientific officer.
The real-world data expert joined the research network provider Monday after 16 years at Harvard, where he worked in the Department of Population Medicine. He's been a consultant to research groups and pharmaceutical companies for real-world data studies, including helping with research to support regulatory filings in the U.S. and Europe, the company said Monday.
The FDA, the National Institutes of Health, the National Cancer Institute and other groups have helped fund Brown's research. The executive also has experience working with TriNetX as co-chair of its strategic advisory board for "several years," Brown said in a statement. He's the chief product officer of open-source software network PopMedNet as well, according to his LinkedIn page.
Brown said he'll help TriNetX use its data to support clients in pre- and postmarket safety, pharmacovigilance, health economics and other areas.
