Data Champions Search

I am a post-doctoral physicist working in the Department of Radiology, with a background in programming and a particular interest in medical image analysis and software design. I am currently involved in setting up and maintenance of processes for data storage, sharing and archiving for the department - with particular emphasis on medical research image data.

After completing my undergraduate degree in psychology, I spent several years working within the NHS and the charity sector, before moving into clinical research (Department of Oncology) in 2011. During this tenure I worked as a research assistant and latterly senior data manager, working across a variety of research and clinical systems (including OpenClinica, Achiever Medical and EDGE), gaining valuable experience in data approaches to research and governance. During this time I also completed a MSc in Psychological Research Methods. My knowledge and understanding of NHS systems was furthered during a secondment to the eHospital team, which facilitated the transition of Cambridge University NHS Foundation Trust to a fully electronic medical health record system (EPIC), the first of its kind in the UK.
   
   I joined the Department of Clinical Neurosciences in 2020, bringing a wealth of experience in the collection and management of clinical data from my time in Oncology. I currently work with the clinical and laboratory teams and external stakeholders to design, create and deliver streamlined methods for the prospective collection of high quality clinical and sample data.
