Celgene has appointed former Pfizer man Dr David Gillen as its new UK and Ireland medical director.

Gillen brings much experience to his new role after holding a number of leadership positions within pharma over the past decade.

Gillen worked as a doctor in the NHS for seven years before joining Pfizer’s R&D unit.

Following this, he held the position of medical director at Wyeth and subsequently Pfizer, and in 2010 joined Gilead Sciences as head of international medical affairs.

Gillen has worked closely with external stakeholders throughout his career, including NICE, and has been active in initiatives to improve collaboration between the NHS, academic medicine and industry.

He commented: “This is a very exciting time as Celgene’s portfolio expands and I can’t wait to build on the excellent work that’s already being undertaken.”
