Si occupa di eseguire gli studi di fattibilità, selezionare i centri, preparare la documentazione necessaria per lo studio clinico. La sua preparazione iniziale, in quanto figura entry level, è molto basica. Non è richiesta la laurea in materie scientifiche, si richiede una buona
conoscenza della lingua inglese e buone abilità informatiche. Inoltre, è richiesta una buona capacità di saper lavorare in gruppo, attenzione ai dettagli e di time management.
Spesso questo specialista è definito in house, poichè svolge il suo lavoro direttamente in ufficio.
Chi è il Medical Science Liaison (MSL)?
È il consulente altamente qualificato del mondo aziendale farmaceutico. Se si ha già esperienza nel mondo farmaceutico o nel mondo della ricerca clinica, si potrebbe rivestire questo ruolo. Diventando il punto di riferimento delle figure mediche, si avranno contatti con i KPI (Key Opinion Leaders), i clinici e gli sperimentatori, intercettando le loro esigenze, ma allo stesso tempo comunicando le novità e le caratteristiche dei prodotti farmaceutici dell’azienda per cui si lavora. Comprendendo il mercato farmaceutico e le loro dinamiche, si sapranno cogliere le nuove opportunità di sviluppo scientifico e presentarle all’azienda. Si diventerà cultori della materia, partecipando a numerosi congressi e pubblicando articoli scientifici sulle più importanti riviste mediche.
Ma come si diventa MSL?
Ad una buona determinazione, si affianca un solido background scientifico, una pregressa esperienza nella ricerca scientifica (meglio se clinica) e conoscenza del sistema sanitario del Paese per cui si lavora. In questo caso, circa il 25-75% del proprio tempo lavorativo, l’MSL lo trascorre viaggiando.
Chi è il Pharmacovigilance Specialist in area pre-marketing?
È la figura aziendale che si occupa di farmacovigilanza, disciplina volta alla sorveglianza e alla gestione degli eventi avversi dei farmaci. Il suo è un ruolo chiave nell'interazione con altre figure professionali come medici e staff del centro sperimentale, Sponsor e autorità regolatorie. Il Pharmacovigilance Specialist, infatti, monitora i dati di safety provenienti dagli studi clinici, comunicando le reazioni gravi alle autorità regolatorie e contribuendo alla valutazione del rapporto rischio/beneficio dei farmaci sperimentali.
Ma come si diventa Pharmacovigilance Specialist?
È consigliato possedere un solido background in farmacologia, conoscere la normativa vigente e/o avere esperienza pregressa nell’ambito, avere buone capacità di analisi e di redazione di report. Il lavoro può essere svolto in modalità remota o ibrida ed è fondamentale la conoscenza della lingua inglese.
Il punto che accomuna tutti i ruoli della ricerca clinica, è la formazione. Conoscere le GCP, le normative e tutto quello che ruota attorno a questo mondo è fondamentale per iniziare e fare la differenza.
Il dipartimento di training service di ClinOpsHub si occupa proprio di questo, partendo da corsi come Missione CRA che forniscono una preparazione da entry level al Missione QA, Missione MSL e molto altro ancora per specializzarsi.

Employer: Technical University of Denmark
If you are establishing your career as a scientist and you have the ambition to develop groundbreaking smart technologies and devices for healthcare, this is the right research project for you.
The aim of the PhD project is to explore and develop new piezoelectric biomaterials and technologies for controlled drug release in smart devices by the application of ultrasound. The focus of the activity will be i) to produce thin films of biomaterials with high piezoelectric properties and loaded with drug molecules, ii) to develop MEMS devices based on piezopolymers, and iii) to develop and optimize a strategy for the remote release of drugs on demand. Within the framework of IDUN, we have extensively explored engineered micro-encapsulated pharmaceutical compounds and more advanced oral drug delivery concepts. In addition, we have expertise on developing piezoelectric materials and device fabrication methods for sensors and actuators for the human body. The PhD candidate will be a part of the IDUN center of excellence, led by Prof. Anja Boisen at DTU Department of Health Technology, and will work under the supervision of Prof. Massimo De Vittorio. IDUN is a highly cross-disciplinary research center with over 40 members, that focuses on development of micro and nanotechnology-based sensors, detection systems and drug delivery devices.
Responsibilities
Your overall focus will be on the design, realization, and test of devices such as smart pills or flexible MEMS transducers based on piezoelectric biopolymers such as chitosan and cellulose, the two most abundant biopolymers on earth. You will work with nearby colleagues and with academic, clinical, and industrial partners in Denmark as well as abroad.
Your primary tasks will be to:
- Develop biopolymers thin films embedding drugs with high piezoelectric properties.
- Tailoring the optical, mechanical, piezoelectric and electrical properties of the thin films by advanced and innovative fabrication methods for improving retention and drug delivery on demand.
- Design and fabricate piezoelectric devices by advanced micro and nanofabrication methods.
- Employ ultrasound in order to trigger and speed up the drug release from the piezoelectric biopolymers. Tests will be executed first in vitro and then, after successful validation, in vivo.
- Teach and supervise BSc and MSc student projects, and be co-supervisor for PhD students
The research activity will be carried out within the framework of the Center of Excellence – IDUN. In IDUN, our motto is ‘bringing science to life’ and we believe in openness, inclusiveness, having ambitions, making a difference and collaboration.
You will play a role mainly in the “Optomechanical Biointerfaces” research group coordinated by prof. Massimo De Vittorio of the IDUN section, and you will interact with several members of IDUN working in different disciplines, such as biology, microfabrication, pharmaceutical science and polymer science. The project is highly interdisciplinary, and we expect that you enjoy teamwork.
