In the clinical trial setting, Isabelle helped clients effectively resolve challenging issues, such as CRO changes during ongoing, multi-national clinical studies, transfers of studies among sponsors, and engagement of multiple sites in investigator-initiated studies. Her vast experience spanned a wide range of companies within the industry, including startups, clinical stage companies, contract research organizations, consulting groups, and big pharma.
