Bio

Duane Mancini is the Founder and President of Project Medtech, LLC and works for Covance, Inc on the Medical Device and Diagnostic team as the Business Development Director.

Duane is a chemist by training and holds a Master of Science degree in Medicinal Chemistry from the University of Toledo. He started his medical device career at NAMSA as a technical advisor who specialized in overall biological safety planning including the use of chemical characterization to reduce the amount of biocompatibility testing needed for approval.

He then moved into a senior technical advisor role at NAMSA and worked with clients on regulatory, reimbursement, and clinical strategies. This unique and end-to-end background enabled him to be chosen to help lead NAMSA MRO team. In this role, he applied the NAMSA MRO approach (end to end CRO services) to medical device companies in order to accelerate time to market. This role required working with mostly medical device start-up companies in developing and executing a get-to-market strategy.
