ABOUT ME

I, Robert Hofmann MD PhD, have been working as an independent consultant in the pharmaceutical industry since 2021 and founded med4pharma GmbH in St. Augustin, Germany. Before that, from 2013 to 2021, I worked as Medical Director at Tillotts Pharma AG in Rheinfelden (Switzerland), where I was largely responsible for the medical strategy. Between 2007 and 2013, I was Director Medical Affairs for Pain & Digestive Health at Johnson & Johnson Consumer in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region. My other professional positions include management positions at McNeil Europe, including Deputy QP for Pharmacovigilance and Director Medical and Regulatory Affairs. I have extensive experience in medical and regulatory consulting, which I have been offering independently since med4pharma was founded. Through my many years of expertise in the pharmaceutical industry, my memberships in international professional societies and the management of medical initiatives, I have the necessary know-how and the corresponding contacts for pharmaceutical companies and pharmaceutical-related agencies
