From site signal to global system.

Clean data and no data look identical.

10+ years in Phase I–III oncology trials. I build what clinical operations uses, then check whether it measures what it claims.

Evidence

Twelve cases from the work

How I work

Three tests I put to any risk, system or process

Risk

Is anyone actually watching it?

Found that protocol-deviation root causes had no place in the global CTMS layout. Raised it, and the process was amended.

System

Does it fit the work?

Asked what monitors need for full oversight under risk-based monitoring; systems were evaluated on that basis, and my input fed the approach now in use.

Process

Can it be followed?

Traced unreliable tumour assessments at a site to radiology reports that did not follow RECIST; trained the radiology department and verified the fix at the next visit.

Career

From the lab bench to global systems

Cardiac development research; co-author in Nature Communications.

2015–2022Associate CRA and CRA, Bristol Myers Squibb

Phase I–III oncology monitoring in Germany and Switzerland, among the first under risk-based monitoring; twenty active sites at all times.

2022–nowSenior CRA, BMS

Germany, Switzerland and Austria; lead CRA on global studies; CTMS subject matter expert; led the regional AI capability workstream; assigned onboarding coach for incoming monitors.

2022–2026Global systems assignments

Company-wide CTMS roll-out (2022–23) and a 12-month global remote site engagement and systems assignment (2025–26).

2026Field medical secondment · Oncology

Concurrent. Brought in to support recruitment on a study through the KOL landscape and referral network; made insight documentation easier and escalated a gap in how field insight reaches study teams.
