About Sarra

I help organisations advance cancer research by making science tangible, measurable, and impactful.
As a Medical Oncologist with 6+ years of experience spanning R&D and clinical development, I translate complex scientific challenges into concrete strategies — from Phase II & III trial design to evidence generation and scientific communication.
What defines my profile:
🔬 Scientific Impact 20+ peer-reviewed publications in top-tier oncology journals — New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, Nature Communications, Journal of Clinical Oncology, and more — contributing to research that has directly shaped clinical practice and standards of care.
🤖 Technology & Innovation I actively integrate AI-assisted research, literature review, and data interpretation into my daily practice. I believe that staying ahead of the science means embracing the tools that accelerate it — including prompt engineering and digital health solutions.
🌍 Multilingual Communication Fluent in French, Arabic, and English, with intermediate Dutch — enabling me to engage effectively with international teams, global KOLs, and diverse patient communities across Europe, the Middle East, and beyond.
💊 Clinical & Research Expertise End-to-end leadership of Phase II & III oncology trials · Protocol development · Patient safety oversight · KOL & patient advocacy engagement · Cross-functional collaboration · Grant writing .
