Rosalind Fabunmi, PhD Joins Edwards Lifesciences as Senior Director, Medical Affairs

Life Science Partner is pleased to announce the recruitment of Rosalind Fabunmi, PhD as Senior Director, Medical Affairs with Edwards Lifesciences.

Edwards is committed to focusing on the patient journey from diagnosis to treatment to lifetime outcome, and Fabunmi has a rare combination of skills and experiences which make her highly qualified for her new role. With compelling data on the high individual and societal costs of valvular disease, Edwards is seeking to address the significant unmet need for care.

Fabunmi will lead Edwards’ evidence development and publication strategy in order to call attention to the prevalence and costs of valvular disease. Importantly, she will also serve as the public face of the company on these issues, engaging key opinion leaders to address the broad lack of awareness.

Fabunmi joins Edwards already possessing subject matter expertise in structural heart disease. Earlier in her career, she served in medical affairs roles for transcatheter aortic valve replacement technologies with Medtronic. Notably, she has also served in medical affairs roles in the pharmaceutical industry, working on heart failure products with Merck and Amylin Pharmaceuticals.

Most recently, Fabunmi served as Senior Director, Medical Affairs with the diabetes company Zafgen. The pharmaceutical industry has blazed the trail on burden of disease data and its use, so Fabunmi’s combination of medical device and pharmaceutical experience in Edwards’ disease space makes her exceptionally qualified for this role. In a career primarily focused on medical affairs, Fabunmi’s experience also encompasses health economics and outcomes research, rendering her almost unique in terms of the skills she brings to Edwards.
