Ask Acumen

Adam Mann

Manager, Clinical Trial Supply

How long have you been with Acumen and when did you start working in the research industry?

I have been with Acumen since April of 2023. I started out in research as a Clinical Administrative Assistant in 2015.

What excites you most about the work you do at Acumen?

The employees at Acumen are fantastic. I love working with each one of them. Acumen is trying to help Alzheimer’s patients. As a person who has experienced family members with Alzheimer’s, to be able to help mothers, fathers, grandparents, brothers, and sisters with much needed products in this indication is exciting.
