About The Position

Secura Bio is looking for an experienced Medical Science Liaison (MSL) in the Mid-West Region that will serve as a key scientific resource and strategic partner within our medical affairs team as well as cross functionally with clinical development and our marketing and sales colleagues in their region to provide clinical and scientific product education to their Health Care Providers. The MSL will focus on building and maintaining relationships with academic and community clinicians, key opinion leaders (KOLs), and research institutions in the Hematology /Oncology space, specifically rare lymphomas in support of the Medical Affairs goals and objectives.
