The Medicines Patent Pool (MPP) is a United Nations-backed public health organisation working to increase access to, and facilitate the development of, life-saving medicines for low
- and middle-income countries. Through its innovative business model, MPP partners with civil society, governments, international organisations, industry, patient groups and other stakeholders, to prioritise and license needed medicines and pool intellectual property to encourage generic manufacture and the development of new formulations.

MPP’s initial work began with infectious diseases including HIV, viral hepatitis and TB, and obtained licences that resulted in high public health impact. In 2018, MPP’s mandate expanded to target medicines included in the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines or with potential for future inclusion, which encompass a whole range of disease areas, including diabetes and cancers. Additionally, MPP has the mandate to work on COVID-19 interventions, and is exploring other areas of intervention, as relevant. Finally, given their ground-breaking potential impact, long-acting technologies and formulations to achieve longer exposure to medicines is a focus area.

**Scientific Manager** at MPP performs a critical role of guiding MPP’s work through medical and technical advice in all aspects of its work. Working closely with international organisations and other stakeholders, including industry partners, the Scientific Manager is part of an MPP team dedicated to helping speed up access to better and adapted medicines for those in developing countries that need them most.

- Monitoring any relevant clinical issues in relation to the products being targeted
- Support the development and update of a prioritisation framework to guide MPP’s in-licensing efforts;
- Provide technical input into negotiations with pharmaceutical companies aimed at highlighting the need for specific health interventions in LMICs;
- Provide scientific perspective and updates for quarterly meetings with generic manufacturers;
- Stay and keep MPP abreast of medical and technical matters relevant to MPP’s work, with constant attention to identifying new potential opportunities;
