INFLEXXION, INC.

One potential employer that I found was a company called Inflexxion, Inc. It is in the private sector and is based in Massachusetts. Inflexxion, Inc is a pharmaceutical risk management and consulting company that helps pharmaceutical companies meet the FDA’s risk management requirements. The company also looks at substance abuse and college health. This company was looking hiring an epidemiologist to their team. They are looking for someone that is interested in pharmaceuticals and drug abuse. The epidemiologist would be helping manage and maintain their National Addictions Vigilance Intervention and Prevention Program (NAVIPPRO). The NAVIPPRO is their premier risk management program for prescription opioids, stimulants and other selected therapeutic agents. It is able to provide pharmaceutical companies with national, real-time, product specific date for postmarketing surveillance, signal detection and verification, and intervention and prevention. The job is asking that you have a Master’s in epidemiology or public health. A PhD is not required for employment but it is favorable to this company. Another interesting fact about this company is that it receives support from the National Institutes of Health which allows them to further their strategic emphasis on science and public health. They also seek publication in peer-reviewed journals for much of the work they develop. Inflexxion, Inc has won many awards in the public health field because of their continued exploration in promoting public health.
