FLÉNU

En résumé

With an old passion for neurosciences (as a child, I dreamt to be the first neurosurgeon to achieve human brain transplant!), I have led various R&D projects and research teams in academic and pharmaceutical industry environments. In addition, my thirst for undertaking led me to found and manage my own business.

Recently, I have proposed a clinical CRO to put my skills at its disposal in a role where my scientific know-how meets my entrepreneurship. As a clinical project manager at ECSOR (Belgium), I henceforth manage clinical studies, support business development, implement procedures, set-up databases and structure the organization.
