How is the OBU management? Especially the diagnostics group?

Wouldn’t want anything to do with diagnostics. Not due to leadership but because it’s not a revenue generating role.

Precision medicine is not a new concept. Most institutions and community practices have adopted it in one way or another. The challenge is in them implementing it into their systems and making the data easily accessible and actionable in a timely manner. There isn’t anything a diagnostics person at AZ or any pharma company can do to solve that issue. Plus there are too many reps and you’ll spend your time doing nothing but business planning and trying to get others to align on a plan. This has been going for over 5 years with no evidence of any benefit at all. Be a rep instead.

As for management in general, none above the director level have any oncology experience what so ever until you get to DF.

First line management is hit or miss. There are extraordinarily good managers with both oncology and leadership skills that you could thrive under. Others, like the people Diep Cohen promoted possess neither. They owe their job to her, and she hired them because they wouldn’t be a threat to her. #colleenoneil.

I’d avoid the lung team at all costs unless your only alternative is primary care or unemployment.
