With 10 years experience in clinical trial management at the Clinical Trials Research Unit (CTRU), I have worked collaboratively with Universities and NHS Trusts nationally to deliver multicentre randomised controlled trials. I am currently the Trial Manager for the TRICEPS trial.
I joined the University of Sheffield in 2009 following a 10-year career in pharmaceuticals with GlaxoSmithKine, at the interface of Research & Development and international production of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API).
