Johanna Cook
Senior Trial Manager
I am a Senior Trial Manager within the Primary Care Clinical Trials Unit (PC-CTU) and the module coordinator for the Clinical Trial Management module, that is part of the MSc in Evidence-Based Health Care.
Currently I am leading a team working on respiratory and psychiatric trials, including the STAR-CAT and CORMORANT trials.
Previously I specialised in infectious diseases research and helped to lead the PRINCIPLE Trial which was a platform randomised controlled trial looking into treatments for COVID-19 in the community. This was a world leading trial, recruiting over 11,000 participants and looking at 7 different treatments.
The Clinical Trial Management module is a week long course that takes students through the whole process of clinical trials management, from seeking grant funding through to closure and archiving of the trial. This course is run by the Oxford University Department for Continuing Education and can be taken as a stand alone course or as part of the wider MSc.
I am also the PC-CTUs representative on the departments Athena SWAN Self Assessment Team. This involves thinking through the ways that we can make the department, and in particular the clinicals trials unit, a more inclusive and supportive environment, especially for women in research.
