Background

About Ignacio Hernando

Currently working as a Medical Scientific Liaison Manager Oncology for Exelixis, through a Exelixis-IQVIA agreement. Pharmacist. Firstly, I specialized on the medical department of the pharmaceutical industry thanks to an internship at Janssen-Cillag in the medical Oncology-Hemato area (Daratumumab - Multiple Myeloma, Acute Myeloid Leukemia and other B-cell malignancies). After a year there, I started as a MSL in Cardiva. There, I visited anesthesists and oncologists all around Spain in order to train in chronic pain pathophysiology (a quickly growing area) and related products, also giving technical support to sales force and organising specialised courses for doctors to gain the needed knowledge and experience to carry out innovative surgery techniques we provided. In 2021, I started working into the Clinical Trials environment thanks to IQVIA, acting as a Clinical Trial Liaison in Oncology studies. My main aim is making a good relationship with oncologists and their whole teams, performing trainings, initiating scientific conversations, in order to increase recruitment and retention of patients, so new oncologic drugs are available ASAP to patients by valid and robust scientific evidence. Also in 2021, I started Market Access and Pricing Master's within Carlos University. I expect my potential future opportunities to be oriented in that interesting direction. Moreover, before these, I performed the Master's in clinical research and pharmaceutical medicine by the EPHOS school, I have specialized in this sector developing clinical trials (phases I-IV), medical plans (MAPs), and a value dossier of a drug. In addition, I have carried out the development plan of an anti-paludism drug to prevent and treat malaria from the preclinical phase to the post-marketing one. Previous to these experiences, I worked in the Charles University in Prague, where, thanks to team working, we published an articule about the identification of substrates for DHRS7 enzyme. You can find it here: I am a reliable person, hard and team-working, with critical and scientific thinking. Honest and goal-oriented, I believe compromise and leadership are essential to achieve the goals.
