Senior Trials Manager

I am a Senior Trial Manager overseeing a portfolio of studies. Previously, I was the Trial Manager for the INVICTUS study, which investigated a novel vaccine in addition to the licensed flu vaccine, to better protects older adults from flu-like illness.

I joined the department in August 2015 as part of the Cardiovascular and Renal Research Theme, where I worked on various CTIMPs.

Prior to working at the PC-CTU I worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Sussex and Kings College London, on various research projects in the areas of addiction, anxiety, nicotine and attention, and obesity.
