Eli Wood
@eliwood
Clinical research professional driving operational excellence.
What I'm looking for
I am a clinical research professional with multidisciplinary experience across oncology, toxicology, medical genomics, and cardiology, committed to humanity-centered innovation and regulatory compliance. I excel at experimental design, data analysis, and translating technical detail into actionable operational improvements.
In my recent roles I maintained protocol and FDA/IRB compliance, served as a central liaison between patients, physicians, and sponsors, and created learning materials and systems that increased patient compliance and safety. As a molecular scientist I processed thousands of CLIA/CAP-aligned samples, built data visualization and QC workflows, and customized LIMS implementations to mirror physical processes and streamline operations.
I have led preclinical studies, authored SOPs and technical documents, trained and coached staff, and delivered process optimizations that reduced redundant results and improved throughput. I bring strong communication, cross-functional collaboration, and a proactive approach to designing systems that improve transparency, data integrity, and patient outcomes.
