Profile
Current Rolea
As Knowledge Exchange Manager for the OncoEng and BioTrib projects, my main role is to help maximise impact from research. Within BioTrib, I work with early career researchers to identify routes to exploitation, dissemination and knowledge transfer.
Within the OncoEng project, I influence the regulatory strategy, advise on routes to exploitation and guide researchers towards maximum impact from their work. I am currently in the process of writing a regulatory toolkit for academics, to support early stage medical device development.
I have interests in engaging with stakeholders and policymakers in early stage medical device research and development.
