Gregory Grosicki, PhD

Leveraging big data and science to unlock human performance and healthspan.

- Served as the subject matter expert in obesity clinical care process, including medical, pharmaceutical, nutrition, behavior, and lifestyle modification. - Developed real-world evidence-based health economics and clinical research programs and related data analytics to demonstrate efficacy of OPTAVIA programs, plans, and products in conjunction with medically supported weight loss. - Contributed to the development of clinical care protocols and health care policy strategy for nutrition and lifestyle programs, as part of the medically supported weight loss program. - Developed and managed research partnerships with academia and key opinion leaders (KOLs), thought leaders, health care, and external partners to support medically supported weight loss. - Collaborated cross-functionally to provide scientifically based recommendations for plans, products, and programs to ensure the messaging is evidence-based and consistent. - Stayed abreast of current medical advancements, scientific literature, and nutrition and wellness findings through continuing education, reviewing publications and data reports, and attending conferences. - Worked closely with senior leadership to develop the company's strategic vision for products, programs, and research.

- Designed studies and managed the end-to-end research process to develop models and algorithms that translate data into meaningful physiological measurements and insights. - Kept up with the latest developments in wearable technology by reading industry publications, gathering background knowledge, and staying abreast of emerging trends. - Responded to custom data and analysis requests from partners, including working with partners to understand what is feasible and executing on the requests. - Identified patterns in requests and built out tooling to increase the efficiency of the research process over time. - Wrote and revised high-quality manuscripts to communicate research findings to a wide range of audiences from peer reviewed academic journals to blog posts. - Managed and mentored a team of junior research scientists.

- Led 10 clinical research studies, with a focus on aging, cardiometabolic health, and the gut microbiome. - Disseminated research findings through >60 peer-reviewed publications in high-impact scientific journals and >100 conference presentations. - Secured $250,000 in grant support for research development and clinical study implementation. - Collaborated with multidisciplinary teams, including clinicians and researchers at >30 external institutions. - Served on the Institutional Review Board (IRB) and ensured strict adherence to Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines and regulatory compliance. - Kept up-to-date with latest advancements in clinical research methodologies by attending 2-3 conferences/workshops per year. - Demonstrated strong leadership and mentorship skills, as evinced through 2 graduate mentees winning university-wide research award.
