Research Sciences

The Research Sciences (RS) team is a dedicated group of Medical & Scientific Writers, Research Scientists and Statistical Programming professionals with a shared vision to optimize an agile research division that achieves scalable insight delivery while amplifying scientific expertise. Flatiron offers Real-World Evidence (RWE) solutions to biopharma companies, providing tailored datasets and consulting services to meet specific research needs and goals. The RS team conducts real-world evidence studies to address critical research questions across clinical development, market access, and commercial use cases for our life sciences partners. We also enhance clinical trials by using digital solutions that work across various EHR systems.

Melissa Estevez

Flatiron is unique as a health tech company because we cover the whole process of real-world evidence generation, from data entry at the point of care to curating real-world data and finally analyzing it. I can’t stress enough how unique and powerful this is.

What People Are Saying About Flatiron Health

  • Mission & Purpose: Feedback suggests RS work is explicitly tied to patient impact in oncology, with teams using principles like “solve problems that matter” and “start with why” to anchor study choices. Projects prioritize decision‑grade real‑world evidence over abstract modeling.
  • Learning & Development: Colleagues emphasize norms such as “seek feedback at 30%,” structured onboarding, and cross‑disciplinary teaming across epidemiology, statistics, and ML that accelerate skill growth. Team stories highlight mentoring and knowledge‑sharing as part of daily RS workflows.
  • Work-Life Balance: Team materials describe a hybrid‑friendly setup where RS groups choose when to collaborate in person versus remotely to support productivity and well‑being. Durham examples note flexible hours that help balance focused work with family time.
