About Jacob Little
I’m a pediatric nephrologist and epidemiologist with experience in drug safety, regulatory science, and clinical development. I currently serve as Medical Director, Global Safety Lead at Takeda, where I guide safety analysis and strategy for innovative therapies.Previously, I worked at the FDA as a Clinical Reviewer where I evaluated cellular and gene therapies, xenotransplantation products, and biologic devices across a wide range of indications, including nephrology, cardiology, hepatology, pulmonology, dermatology, autoimmune, and metabolic disorders. My responsibilities included oversight of INDs, IDEs, pivotal protocols, expedited pathway requests, and pediatric study plans.As a pediatrician, I am passionate about advancing child health, particularly in clinical research where pediatric patients have historically been underrepresented. I bring this perspective to my global safety work, ensuring that transformative therapies are developed and delivered with patient safety at the forefront.
