Research Associate
Adelphi Values Patient-Centered Outcomes
“Working at Adelphi is a great opportunity to develop research skills learned at university in a professional industry setting, whilst working on interesting projects with different clients and in multiple disease areas. I’ve especially enjoyed getting involved in conducting interviews with patients and caregivers to understand their experience of different conditions, and learning about how the work we do feeds into the different stages of the pharma companies’ drug development programmes.”
