Profile

Like to learn new things, which is why I became a scientist.  And I like teaching people new things which is why I became involved in STEM. I always wanted a career rather than a job, something that would keep me interested and engaged rather than just occupied.

Ensure clinical trials are run using the best hospitals, to  bring new agents to the clinic as quickly as possible. Educate health care professionals in areas of disease and treatment, identify unmet needs and generate evidence to support new products. Keep up to date with latest research and publications through reading, conference attendance and discussions with the most influential people in the field.

I work on a range of different projects, including several vaccines and new treatments that are still in the research phase. I work with colleagues across Europe and the rest of the world to ensure we are up to date with new data and progress in bringing these to market. Also work  with the regulatory authorities who decide if new agents are licenced to ensure we have all the correct data they need. I also work on supporting treatments that are already in use, help educate and train sales and commercial staff, creating advertising and publicity material, and give talks to clinical teams around the disease area and treatments. I attend conferences to keep up to date with new research as well as reading new publications.
