Jem Chang is a Statistical Programming Associate Director based in San Jose with a decade of pharmaceutical industry experience and eight years in hands-on roles delivering analyses for oncology trials from startup through global submissions (FDA, EMA, PMDA). At AstraZeneca she leads programming teams and has represented study analytics in high-stakes settings, including an FDA technical walkthrough. Jem blends strong biostatistics training (USC M.S.) with practical expertise in CDISC standards, SAS, R, and Python, and augments that with data science coursework from Stanford Continuing Studies. Her background spans industry and analytics-adjacent roles—from credit risk to SQL internships—giving her a pragmatic view of data systems and regulatory requirements. A self-motivated learner and “data nerd,” she brings curiosity-driven automation and reproducibility improvements to clinical programming workflows. Outside work she’s an avid rock climber, which speaks to her appetite for technical challenges despite a declared fear of heights.
