Ami Albihn

Medical Advisor, Oncology, MSD Sweden

I communicate the science behind our innovations – both by conveying our data from scientific studies in terms of safety and efficacy and by helping close certain data gaps. If physicians need to know how a specific type of patient reacts to one of our drugs, I will assess ways for MSD to support them in obtaining that information. A workday rarely goes exactly like I planned it, so I have to be flexible and good at prioritising my tasks. One thing is for sure, it never gets boring!

Søren Granhøj Pedersen

Oncology Country Lead, MSD Denmark

I’m responsible for MSD’s Oncology franchise in Denmark and Iceland, managing the cross-functional team on a national level and supporting the coordination of all our efforts and work streams. From making sure we have a cross-functional business plan and a coherent communication storyline, to coordinating the activities and focus of everyone across the organisation supporting the oncology area. Basically, I try to make sure that everyone runs in the same direction.

Sari Käkelä

Medical Advisor, Oncology, MSD Finland

The most important part of my job is to pave the ground for scientific exchange. I manage dialogues and interactions with physicians to gather their input for our study results; what do they think the clinical importance is? And how would our product fit into their everyday lives treating patients? I work with several tumor types and need to be in contact and personally meet with top experts and scientific leaders in each field.

Biomarker & CDx Lead, Oncology, MSD Sweden

In brief, my job as Biomarker & Companion Diagnostics Lead is about making sure that the right patient gets the right treatment through the use of personalised medicine. When we launch products for new cancer types, it is my responsibility that the biomarker test is conducted with the highest possible quality, and to tailor the strategy behind it to match the needs of our Nordic team, doctors and patients. A big part of my job is also to coordinate medical education, attend medical conferences and stay updated on the latest data and innovations in oncology.

Sebastian Lindholm

Omni-Channel Brand Manager, Oncology, MSD Sweden

As Omni-Channel Brand Manager, Oncology, I see myself as a spider in the web. Collaboration and continuous dialogue and knowledge-sharing with our Therapy Area Managers and Medical Advisors is key in my role. I need to be updated on our latest immuno-oncology inventions and research to communicate this to health care professionals through the right channels, applying a 360-degree view of the marketing model. I like to challenge myself and MSD Oncology; how can we think differently and what can we do to improve the traditional channels?

Understanding the immune system and cancer

The past
In the 1950s, researchers proposed that the immune system patrols the body to detect and destroy tumor cells. Scientists and researchers had previously focused on cancer cells and treating cancer as a genetic disease.
The present Now the focus is shifting to the microenvironment in which cancer grows, including the immune system - an approach called Immuno-Oncology.
The future
Immuno-Oncology has the potential to transform how physicians treat cancer and how patients benefit.
