Yvonne Lungershausen, CEO of Avance Clinical, expressed her enthusiasm about Jeanne’s appointment, highlighting the significant expertise she brings to the team. "We are extremely pleased to have Jeanne Schow lead our North American Business Development team. Jeanne and the North American sales team will focus on working with biotech clients who are seeking collaboration with Avance Clinical’s US operations," Lungershausen stated.
"This senior appointment of an experienced industry leader to the US operations will further support the company’s engagement with US biotech companies seeking rapid and high-quality clinical research solutions," Lungershausen added.
Avance Clinical’s GlobalReady drug development solution provides innovative, accelerated clinical program pathways and quality data accepted by all major regulatory authorities, including the FDA and EMA. Furthermore, the company's Australian operations offer US biotechs substantial savings of almost 45% on clinical expenditures and facilitate rapid start-up of early-phase studies because they do not require an IND.
Jeanne Schow brings over 25 years of experience in discovery, clinical development, and business development roles, managing large strategic teams. "I'm very excited to use my biotech clinical development experience to further expand the Avance Clinical North American operations which has more than 17 years of early to late phase delivery experience," she said.
When asked why she chose to join Avance Clinical, Jeanne emphasized the company’s exceptional track record of repeat business due to customer service, responsive teams, and innovative, quality clinical delivery across, but not limited to, key therapeutic areas including Rare Diseases, Oncology, CNS, Infectious Diseases, and Cell & Gene Therapies.
"As a mid-sized CRO, Avance Clinical is known for its ability to start early in clinical development and expand to support biotech clients through to later phase studies. We will build on this partnership model to increase our later phase studies operated in the US and globally.
"Avance Clinical’s US-based scientific and regulatory expertise and collaborative project management approach aligns with the unique challenges every study presents," she explained.
Reflecting on her career, Jeanne Schow said: "I started out with Baxter Healthcare, working with biotech firms in the San Francisco Bay Area, then joined Avantor, a leading scientific distributor, followed by Acurian Patient Recruitment Services, which was purchased by PPD during my tenure, and then joined UBC. My most recent role was VP of Business Development at APCER Life Sciences, which provides pharmacovigilance and regulatory services for both clinical trials and post-approval."
"I’m proud to participate in the endeavour of discovering treatments which prolong or improve our lives. To help one patient find a possible new treatment through a clinical trial is one benefit that I have both experienced as well as shared with others. I’m thankful for the people I’ve met and look forward to meeting more wonderful professionals as we bring Avance Clinical’s success story to later stage biotech companies," she said.
In addition to her extensive professional experience, Jeanne holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Technology from California Polytechnic University in San Luis Obispo, California, and an MBA from Pepperdine University in Malibu, California.
