Keenova Therapeutics

Bio:

For more than 25 years, Rosalie “Rosie” Filling has developed clear-cut strategies to help advance clinical trials with high-quality operational execution and scientific excellence—transforming R&D operations for pharmaceutical companies.

As a member of the global R&D leadership team at Keenova, she oversees the coordination and implementation of the company’s clinical development strategies, including clinical operations, data management, biostatistics, medical writing, clinical supplies, trial master file/inspection readiness, and business operations. Keenova's active research programs span men’s health, orthopedics, and endocrinology, among others.

Rosie’s main focus at all times is on the end users—the patients. Bringing new life-enhancing and, at times, life-saving medications to patients drives Rosie’s sense of purpose. As a breast cancer clinical trial participant herself, she knows firsthand that her work and commitment can make a positive impact and improve patients’ lives.

Guided by that tireless dedication, Rosie has earned a reputation as a powerful thought leader and mentor. She has participated as a keynote speaker at industry conferences, sharing her vision of how companies can shape the future of clinical trials; she regularly presents to Johns Hopkins University Ph.D. candidates about potential career paths; and within Keenova, she supports team members both formally and informally.

In previous roles, Rosie built teams and capabilities at Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Teva and other respected life sciences companies. She earned her B.S. in Biology with a minor in Chemistry from the University of Pittsburgh.
