CTU DMEG

I am the Business Manager at the Clinical Informatics Research Unit (CIRU) at the University of Southampton. I have worked in clinical research for the past twelve years working in many NHS Trusts & UK Universities. Now I lead a team of highly skilled and sought after individuals delivering high-quality, high-impactful data services to the clinical research community. In addition, I’m privileged to work on many multinational and multicentre studies across the globe. I have a post-graduate certificate in Business Administration from The University of the West of England (UwE).

I first joined ACDM in 2020, and I am now very excited to chair the CTU data management expert group.

I am currently a CORE eCRF Data Analyst at the Clinical Informatics Research Unit, part of the University of Southampton, whilst also studying for an MSc in Public Health & Nutrition.  The CORE team delivers high-quality data services to clinical research teams within the UK and internationally; this includes but is not limited to eCRF database development, expert advice in all things data, and further support such as data management or validation.  I have accumulated previous experience in academic research working at Southampton Clinical Trials Unit as a Clinical Data Coordinator, and a strong understanding of clinical research due to my BSc in Biomedical Sciences.

I am very driven to contribute to the fast-paced world of research and recognise the incredible potential for academic organisations to hold a strong position on this stage.  I hope to bring my previous experience, as well as enthusiasm to learn from others in this sector, in order to explore avenues in which we can further improve the experience and standing of CTU’s in data management.

I am a Data Manager at Newcastle University Clinical Trials Unit. I’ve worked in clinical research since 2013 and have worked in several data management roles in the NHS, University and Industry. I’ve worked on both late and early phase trials over a wide variety of disease areas using several different CDMSs.

I joined the ACDM along with the rest of our data management team in 2018 and am looking forward to taking a more active role as part of the CTU data management expert group.

A highly skilled leader with extensive Clinical Data Systems and Data Management experience from working in a large Contract Research Organisation, Pharmaceutical company, and academic Clinical Trials Unit.
