What are the responsibilities and job description for the VP/SVP, Clinical Development, CNS position at Rapport Therapeutics?
When our people share why they joined Rapport and love it here, it comes down to three things : the science, the mission, and the team. At Rapport, we're driven by a passion for developing precision neuromedicines with the potential for fewer side effects, enabling patients and their families to enjoy healthier, more fulfilling lives. And we're doing this with extraordinary science and awesome people (affectionately called Rapptors).
Our innovative scientific platform is centered on Receptor Associate Proteins (RAPs).
