Job Description

The Biogen Epidemiology group contributes to the mission and goals of Biogen by providing a deep understanding of patient populations and burden of disease throughout the drug development life cycle. This is accomplished by synthesizing existing knowledge as well as designing and conducting studies related to disease prevalence, and drug safety and effectiveness. The group of approximately 12 Ph.D. level epidemiologists are organized by disease, and deployed to drug development and other internal teams.
