Erik Rein-Hedin (MD, PhD candidate) is CTC’s deputy Chief Medical Officer (dCMO) and has been with CTC since 2016. Erik has acted as principal investigator and co-investigator in 100+ clinical trials in all clinical phases but is mainly dedicated to Phase I trials in healthy volunteers, including first-in-human.

He has a particular interest in optimizing trial design to ensure safety and scientific value gained, while adopting a subject-centric approach to minimize the burden of participation.

As a CTC-based doctoral student at Uppsala University, he is undertaking a research project which aims to help improve design and conduct of early phase trials in healthy volunteer subjects. Since 2019, Erik is also a board member on the Clinical Trial scientific section of The Swedish Pharmaceutical Society.
