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.
