The dedicated clinical oncology team—led by Dr. Isagani Chico, vice president and global therapeutic head of oncology—has over 50 oncology physicians with an average of 23 years of industry and clinical experience globally across Europe, North America, Latin America and Asia. Our medical team’s clinical, academic and industry experience covers the majority of oncology indications, including pediatric oncology; and our combined therapeutic area experience extends from translational/early-phase development through product launch and late-phase/postmarketing studies.

Our team of medical experts/consultants also have specialized training or certification in specialized areas of oncology clinical development (see below) and understand the global treatment and competitive landscape, major trends in healthcare and clinical management workflow in these areas. As such, we can provide consultation services in life-cycle management of specific indications including:

  • Clinical development planning
  • Establishment of target product profiles
  • Feasibility, risk assessment and execution
  • Registries
  • Program-level medical oversight

Our physicians with prior experience in these areas of clinical development can also provide study-level oversight, working hand in hand with our experts.

Subject Matter Expert (SME) definition:

A subject-matter expert in Oncology is someone with board certification/specialization, training, knowledge, and medical and clinical trials experience in a particular indication, drug class or area of oncology clinical research. This person has a thorough understanding of the global treatment and competitive landscape, major trends in healthcare, quality, and understanding of clinical management workflow in that particular oncology indication. This is documented by years of experience in oncology clinical practice or clinical research.  

Desired Skills/Qualifications:

  •  Strong leadership, team building and people management/coordination skills
  • Excellent verbal and presentation skills
  • A business mindset
  • History of, and desire for, publications in the area of expertise

The above characteristics differentiate the SME from “Medically Experienced” physicians with prior experience in oncology clinical practice or clinical research in a particular indication/drug class/area of oncology clinical research. Whenever possible, these physicians are assigned as medical monitors; however, may also be developed professionally as SMEs once the desired skills and qualifications are acquired.  

The Medical Science Leadership Centers (MSLC) are ready to be “plugged in and play” and complement other enterprise teams/functions to help LabCorp Oncology differentiate and win more business.

The MCLCs will:

  • Collaborate with cross Enterprise teams and functional areas (e.g. OS&P, BD, FRE, Delivery) to assure that relevant medical/scientific input is incorporated into a bespoke end-to-end delivery strategy for Oncology
  • Work with our BD colleagues to identify and actively pursue relevant medical/scientific discussions with sponsors 
  • Provide Oncology specific therapeutic insight and training
  • Work with Biopharma medical leaders to assure services process consistency across the enterprise
  • Provide a mentorship program for other physicians who wish to gain experience as part of their individual professional development
