In addition, Lauren Lee brings an abundance of regulatory experience to the team. She has served as a regulatory affairs specialist in the past for multiple multi-center industry and investigator-initiated clinical trials, from pre-clinical first-in-human studies to Phase 3 trials. She now uses this knowledge to oversee clinical and genomic research projects in Cardiovascular and Genetic Medicine.
