Moderna Continues to Strengthen its Presence in Spain

Moderna continues to strengthen its team in Spain. Following the appointments of Marisol Gimeno and Maite Mateo, the Spanish subsidiary of the US biotech company has added Johana Rodriguez to its staff as a new medical advisor for Spain and Portugal, according to sources at the company.

The position of medical advisor is that of a professional who acts as a link between the market and the research area and collaborates closely with the marketing and sales department, designing the scientific content of the assigned products and providing support to the person responsible for the product. He also collaborates in international and local clinical trials.

Rodriguez joins Moderna from Amryt Pharma, a pharmaceutical company specialized in rare and orphan diseases, where he has worked for more than three years as medical advisor for Spain, Portugal, and Greece. Moderna’s recent incorporation has a Master’s degree in Humanitarian Medicine from the Complutense University of Madrid and a Master’s degree in Public Health from the Rey Juan Carlos University.

Moderna strengthens its team in Spain after appointments such as Marisol Gimeno and Maite Mateo

Before joining Amryt Pharma, Rodríguez worked for companies such as Praxis Pharmaceutical and Astellas Pharma as medical advisor and project manager in the area of anti-infectives, respectively.

Rodriguez also served as medical science liaison (MSL) at Esteve and Gilead. Currently, the MSL is a person with a technical profile (generally with a medical degree or PhD), specialized in a specific therapeutic area and in charge of interacting with the medical opinion leaders in his or her sector, better known as Key Opinion Leaders or KOLs.

In ten years since its inception, Moderna has transformed from a research-stage company advancing programs in the messenger RNA (mRNA) field to a company with a diverse clinical portfolio of vaccines and treatments in six modalities, a broad intellectual property portfolio in areas including mRNA and lipid nanoparticle formulation, and an integrated manufacturing facility that enables clinical and commercial production at scale.

The company expects to close 2022 manufacturing 500 million doses of its Covid-19 vaccine in Spain

The company closed 2021 with a profit of $12.2 billion, compared with a loss of $747 million recorded in 2020. Moderna’s total revenues in 2021 were $18.471 billion, compared with $803 million in 2020. Of this total amount, product sales were $17.675 million, while in 2020 they were $200 million 2020.

In Spain, the biotech company expects to end 2022 by manufacturing 500 million doses of its anti-Covid-19 vaccine, the result of its agreement with Laboratorios Farmacéuticos Rovi. So far, the company has manufactured just over 350 million doses, which it has distributed to more than sixty countries. On a global scale, these 500 million translate into more than 800 million doses.

In Spain, these plans are forged with the renewal of the agreement between Moderna and Rovi for ten more years to increase the formulation, aseptic filling, inspection, labeling, and packaging capacities in Rovi’s facilities in Madrid, San Sebastián de los Reyes, and Alcalá de Henares.
