Lumis Team

Frauke Bach gained insight into the conduct and management of clinical trials from various angles over 8 years. Starting as a CRA monitoring clinical trials up to phase 3 for a large pharmaceutical company, she continued her career as a clinical project manager, first for an internationally operating mid-sized CRO (Contract Research Organisation), then for a clinical trial center of a renowned German university hospital. At the latter position, she contributed to academic clinical research in the field of stem cell transplantation. She focused on coordinating Investigator Initiated Trials (IITs) and was also instrumental in setting up a multicenter contract research study for the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA), in each case with responsibilities from the perspective of a sponsor representative.

Frauke has profound hands-on experience in clinical trial setup and conduct, as well as in sponsor oversight for a broad range of national and international clinical research projects. She manages projects here at Lumis in a strategic, solution-oriented, and creative manner.

Liam Spencer’s 8 years’ experience includes both pharmaceutical and medical device regulatory affairs. He has worked across different technologies, including; small chemical entities, ATMPs, biologics, vaccines, combination products, and class I-III devices. Working across all phases of development has allowed Liam to gather a broad understanding of regulatory affairs and, therefore, devise creative regulatory strategies.

This strategic and project management skillset was developed at his previous position as a global regulatory lead for a large CRO (Contract Research Organisation). Throughout his career he has also worked on complex international submissions and helped prepare a variety of regulatory documents such as IMPDs, protocols, investigator brochures, clinical evaluation reports, and device technical files. Liam has worked for companies of different sizes and backgrounds and, with his strong experience in a consultancy environment, he can tailor regulatory solutions to the client’s needs.

Liam ranked top of his cohort when he graduated with a first-class degree in Molecular Biology from The University of Sheffield and received several academic awards. He enjoys combining his strong scientific background with his regulatory knowledge to optimise product development.
