What are the responsibilities and job description for the Human Resources Team Member position at Cancer Patient Lab?
Cancer Patient Lab is a patient-led community that was founded with a mission to help advanced cancer patients and their caregivers find better solutions for their cancer treatments. We utilize crowd-sourcing to offer patients access to trusted best-in-class service providers. This puts patients at the center of their care and leverages the collective community to help patients find their best treatments. With the accelerating pace of life sciences and the limited time of healthcare professionals to solve complex problems, we know that yesterday’s diagnostics or treatments may not be best-in-class today. Patients need trusted partners who can offer the best that science has to offer.
