Biography


Derek Petersen is currently the Clinical Data Management Portfolio Lead for the Multiple Sclerosis franchise at Biogen in Cambridge Massachusetts, where he oversees compliance of study operations, data strategies and standards, data quality and integrity remediations, and inspection-preparedness. His experience in clinical research began in 2007 as a Clinical Site Manager for Sanford Research where he oversaw clinical site operations and compliance for an international, prospective, NIH-funded study.

In addition to his current focus on the disease area of Multiple Sclerosis, he has worked within the broader therapeutic areas of hematology, immunology and oncology. His areas of interest have evolved to include risk-based quality assurance, data quality and integrity appraisals, machine learning, and data harmonization.
