Viscira® Welcomes New Senior Scientific Director
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) March 07, 2017 -- Viscira, a leading provider of digital marketing solutions and software products for the life sciences industry, is proud to announce that Heather McCune, PhD, has rejoined the company as Senior Scientific Director. She will be responsible for guiding scientific strategy and medical content development for the company’s diverse base of domestic and global life sciences clients.
Heather brings over 10 years of medical content development experience back to Viscira. In addition to her previous role as Director of Medical Content at Viscira, Heather has held senior-level scientific positions at the medical communications agencies CMC and GeneEd, and in medical affairs at Cord Blood Registry.
Heather has shaped content development efforts for some of the world’s largest pharma and biotech companies, providing support for nearly 400 digital, promotional, and medical education programs. McCune has also supported several launch brands, including those requiring OPDP preclearance review.

Heather’s academic credentials are as impressive as her pharma marketing and medical communications experience. She holds a BA in Biology from Macalester College and a PhD in Genetics from the University of Washington. She also has 10 years of bench research experience, gained during her doctoral studies, her postdoctoral fellowship in Biochemistry & Biophysics at UCSF, and research positions at the University of Minnesota and the University of Chicago.

Viscira has a proven commitment to this integral area, and I’m thrilled to lead and grow our talented medical content team.”

It’s energizing when we have talented former employees choose to return to the company.”
