Paul Dluzniewski

Paul Dluzniewski is currently a Director in the Center for Observational Research at Amgen. As product area lead for the cardiovascular-metabolic group, his work is focused on therapies used to treat patients at elevated risk of cardiovascular disease. He leads evidence generation efforts by conducting epidemiologic research to inform the benefit-risk profile of Amgen’s therapies and highlight the clinical value of both marketed and pipeline products. Prior to Amgen, he worked as a Senior Research Analyst at Health Net, Inc., a large California-based insurance company, where he analyzed medical provider characteristics to ensure compliance with government regulations.
