Project Coordinator
Embedded Files
As a project coordinator within the Sheffield BRC, I support the management of a diverse portfolio of clinical research studies. My role involves coordinating study set-up, contributing to the development of essential study documentation, and supporting regulatory and ethical approval processes to ensure research is conducted in accordance with relevant governance and regulatory requirements. I work closely with research teams to facilitate the successful delivery of both large-scale and smaller research projects.
Career and experience
Prior to joining the Sheffield BRC, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Sheffield and Queen Mary University of London. Before this, I completed both my PhD and Master's degree at the University of Sheffield. My research focused on cardiovascular disease, and I spent several years working in the laboratory using human cell systems and mouse models to better understand disease mechanisms. Seeking to apply my research experience in a broader context, I left pre-clinical science behind and joined the BRC as a Project Coordinator.
Why research matters
My background as a cardiovascular researcher helped me understand the years of work that are needed to generate new scientific knowledge. Through my role in the BRC, I now contribute to the processes that help translate research into real-world benefits for patients. I really enjoy having the opportunity to support studies that bring together researchers, clinicians, and patients to advance our understanding of disease and ultimately make a meaningful difference to people’s lives.
