Dennis Chang

Dennis Chang is a managing director at Clarion with a primary focus in oncology. Through 100+ projects, Dennis has led the cultivation of world-class oncology expertise within the firm, overseeing activities that keep Clarion on the cutting edge of cancer-related science, medicine, evolving policies, key trends, and biopharma best practices. This knowledge and experience is applied to help biopharma clients develop strategies for their most challenging and complex problems, such as investing in combination immunotherapy regimens or navigating the evolving economics and science of precision oncology.

Before joining Clarion, Dennis worked as an academic scientist and educator, holding positions as a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Biology Department at Brandeis University and as a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Biology Department at Wellesley College.

Dennis embraces his current focus on oncology product and portfolio strategies: The pace of advancement in cancer science and medicine has never been faster, and the hurdles for commercial success of new oncology therapies have never been higher. Helping biopharma companies adapt and persevere—and thus bring new, better medicines to cancer patients—is incredibly demanding but immensely rewarding.”

Dennis received a PhD from the Neurobiology Department at Harvard Medical School and a BScH in Life Sciences from Queen’s University in Canada.
