    About

    Headshot of Jeff Antsen

    I conduct qualitative market research, specializing in the growing landscape of immuno-oncology, targetable biomarkers, and novel mechanisms of action. My skillset combines business consulting, molecular biology, behavioral psychology, and interpersonal communication to learn nuanced insights from healthcare professionals.

    This allows MDs and other stakeholders to see me as a credible, objective, and empathic interviewer, facilitating our joint ability to build a deeper shared understanding of treatment priorities, motivations, and trade-offs.
