At Vertex Pharmaceuticals, helping patients is always the number one priority, and that is especially important when developing a clinical trial.
“By thinking first about the patients and what they need, we can develop clinical trials that tell us how the treatments impact those needs,” says Mark Higgins, Senior Director of Clinical Development at Vertex.
Check out the video below, where Mark shares more about his role at Vertex and how we’ve assembled a team of experienced multidisciplinary scientists and partnerships devoted to solving problems that will potentially help us realize the ultimate goal of curing cystic fibrosis.
