About Manuela Lesch

I love making the world a healthier place. Contributing to making effective and safe treatments available to patients in need while ensuring treatments that are not are withheld from the market is very rewarding. I work in a Clinical Research Organization where I support pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies with the implementation of Medical Imaging in their clinical trials. Whenever Medical Imaging is used as a biomarker, it is important to acquire proper images, select appropriate Image Assessment Criteria from amongst the various criteria that exist, and to apply reasonable modifications of the criteria to ensure robust, accurate, and meaningful results. With more than 15 years of experience in this field I am skilled to apply the right medical imaging technique in oncology and neurology clinical trials. Professional Experience: • Scientific guidance for clinical protocols • Defining imaging standards for conventional and exploratory imaging techniques • Implementation of various assessment criteria in clinical trials • Train Independent Reviewers and work with key opinion leaders & criteria authors • Lead therapeutic and strategic meetings • Participate in industry meetings and/or presentations • Manage Scientific and Medical staff I my prior life, I worked in various hospitals as a radiographer experienced in multiple imaging modalities including fluoroscopy, CT, MRI, x-ray, nuclear medicine and radiation therapy. Outside work, I enjoy cooking, training my dogs, spending time with my family and archery. I like meeting new people and hearing new perspective. If you want to chat about imaging technology, clinical trials or archery, I would love to get in touch.
