Zhong Yuan

My name is Zhong (pronounced as June), a physician by training and an epidemiologist. I have more than 10 years of experience in academic research (previously affiliated with Medical Colleague of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI and Case Western Reserve University of Cleveland, OH), and nearly 18 years of experience in pharmaceutical industry. As part of Clinical Development Program (CDP) at Merck, I provided statistical leadership in the design, conduct, analysis, and reporting of late phase clinical trials. Subsequently after joining Johnson & Johnson in 2005, I provided statistical and epidemiological expertise and leadership in drug development programs through late phase clinical trials and postmarketing safety studies, particularly in the therapeutic areas of Urology, Cardiovascular and Metabolism. I have also quite extensive experience in the area of benefit-risk assessment and framework (both within Janssen Research & Development and some involvement outside the company) and provided critical support to several Advisory Committee meetings. I have authored and co-authored more than 60 peer-reviewed publications.
