Senior Director – Biostatistics, Neurology
GondolaBio
• Statistical leadership for ASO programs (Phase 1/2 to PoC readiness): Serve as the lead statistician for GondolaBio's ASO assets, owning statistical strategy from early FIH through proof-of-concept. • Develop and defend fit-for-purpose statistical analysis plans (SAPs) that account for small sample sizes, placebo and open-label designs, and high inter-patient variability. • Seizure endpoint strategy: Design robust statistical approaches for seizure frequency and responder analyses in Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathy populations, where within-patient variability, seizure clustering, and non-normality require non-standard methods. • Partner with clinical colleagues to define scientifically credible and regulatorily acceptable primary and secondary endpoints. • Rare disease-adapted trial design: Apply specialized methods appropriate for small N studies including Bayesian frameworks, adaptive designs, n-of-1 elements, and natural history benchmarking. • Proactively identify and mitigate risks from high variability, missing data, and limited statistical power, communicating trade-offs clearly to program leadership. • Regulatory statistical support: Prepare and contribute to statistical sections of INDs, briefing documents, and FDA/EMA meeting packages. Support pre-IND and Type B/C meetings, and respond to agency questions on statistical methodology. • Biomarker and exploratory analysis: Collaborate with Pharmacology, Translational, and Clinical teams to develop analysis plans for PD biomarkers, target engagement endpoints, and patient stratification. Apply appropriate multiplicity controls and exploratory frameworks to preserve interpretability. • Cross-functional collaboration: Partner closely with Clinical Development, Regulatory, Clinical Operations, and external CROs/vendors to ensure statistical considerations are embedded early in protocol development, CRF design, data management, and study conduct. Represent Statistics in cross-functional program team meetings.
