Biography

I am a Senior Trials Manager working across the portfolio of clinical trials at the Centre for Healthcare Randomised Trials (CHaRT) clinical trials unit (CTU) within the Aberdeen Centre for Evaluation (ACE, formerly Health Services Research Unit (HSRU)). 

I have worked as the lead trial manager on the CHESS, PIP, DIAMOND, CATHETER II, VUE, MASTER and ASICA trials.

I graduated with a BSc in Biosciences and Chemistry and a PhD in Cancer cell and Molecular biology. Prior to joining the unit, I worked as a Research Fellow at Aberdeen University on a range of projects with an emphasis on cancer biomarkers.
