— Who We Are —

A trusted extension of your
Medical Affairs team.

Built by biotech and pharma veterans who have set Medical Affairs strategy firsthand.

ClarezAI strategic intelligence — the engine of senior Medical Affairs experience

Built by the people who have done it before.

ClarezAI was founded by biotech and pharma executive and leadership veterans who have built and run Medical Affairs functions firsthand. Our team brings together MDs, PharmDs and PhDs with genuine therapeutic command of the retina landscape — and established KOL relationships to match.

We have set Medical Affairs strategy for success at multiple biotech and pharma companies, and developed 100+ publications and presentations that have been accepted and presented. That experience is the engine behind every engagement.
