Executive Summary

Dr. Bradley T. Wyman, PhD, is a biomedical engineer and imaging scientist with more than thirty years of experience in clinical imaging, clinical trial design, management consulting, and due diligence. He works with pharmaceutical, medical device, and biotech companies to implement novel biomarkers and design studies that drive go/no-go development decisions.

His career includes ten years at Pfizer developing and implementing imaging biomarkers across therapeutic areas spanning CNS, arthritis, inflammatory disease, cardiovascular, pain, oncology, metabolic disease, and ophthalmology — including the Phase 3 bapineuzumab Alzheimer’s program and the imaging biomarker programs supporting the tofacitinib (Xeljanz) new drug application. As former Vice President of Imaging and Clinical Development at ImaginAb, he led the development and clinical testing of novel PET tracers, including the Phase 2 program for an antibody fragment directed against PSMA.

Brad brings an engineer’s mindset to clinical development: rigorous, data-driven, and focused on the decisions that move a program forward. His broader expertise includes clinical trial operations, vendor oversight, protocol and study documentation, MRI contrast agent development, data management, and software development.

Areas of Expertise

Imaging Biomarkers

Developing and validating imaging biomarkers (MRI, PET, X-ray, volumetric) to enable clinical decision-making across therapeutic areas from CNS to arthritis.

Clinical Trial Design

Designing studies and imaging endpoints that balance regulatory, scientific, and corporate objectives to drive clear go/no-go development decisions.

PET Tracer Development

Leading development and clinical testing of novel PET tracers and radiolabeled antibody fragments, including Phase 1 and Phase 2 oncology programs.

Clinical Development

End-to-end clinical development: protocols, investigator brochures, pharmacy manuals, CSRs, vendor and site selection, and study delivery oversight.

Due Diligence & Strategy

Evaluating novel technologies for investors and building business plans spanning development, validation, regulatory, de-risking, and financing pathways.

Medical Device & MRI Agents

MRI contrast agent development, medical device strategy, QSR / ISO 9001 / 510(k) experience, and target asset profiles for novel imaging agents.
