    • Medilab Diagnostic Services Ltd

      Jun 2015 - Aug 2015

      At the WWCRC I gained laboratory experience and exposure to early stages of the clinical trial process. During my time at the WWCRC I investigated the methods for detecting cell-free DNA in plasma and serum, investigating the potential as a screening or prognostic tool in cancer patients. Additionally, valuable experience of working in a GLP/GCLP environment and adhering to standard operating procedures (SOPs) was obtained.

    • Q² Solutions

      Sept 2017 - Jun 2021
      Project Manager

      Previously as a Project Manager at Q-Squared Solutions I acted as a single point of contact for the effective management of the lab testing components of global clinical trials - both varied and complex. My role required that I provide regional support for clinical trial materials, logistics, and delivery of high quality analytical services. Delivery of these services was achieved through effective management of internal, external and global communications. Doing so allowed for key milestones throughout the life of the project to be met on time and within the agreed budget and schedule.Extensive experience was gained working with well established sponsors, to improve and maintain account health and with Emerging Biopharma, where a carefully tailored approach was needed due to a different set of needs. Regardless of the client, careful consideration of risks and development of appropriate solutions were always delivered. Minder weergeven
