Karen Beck

I am the Section Manager in Design, Trials and Statistics for Population Health and I am responsible for overseeing the clerical and administrative support in the section; working with the Section Director and Heads of Groups to make strategic decisions for the section; arranging accommodation for section staff and visiting academics; dealing with human resource issues and financial management of the section.
