What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a clinical research role where I can run GCP/ISO-compliant ICU trials, manage data and regulatory workflows, and contribute to translational oncology or medical device evidence generation with strong multidisciplinary teamwork.

I’m a clinical research professional with hands-on experience supporting multi-centre ICU-based interventional and medical device trials. With an MSc in Cancer Medicine from Queen’s University Belfast, I bring a foundation in neurocritical care research and translational oncology, supported by ICH-GCP–compliant trial coordination and regulatory documentation.

As Project Research Scientist I at St. John’s Research Institute, I serve as Research Scientist for an ICMR-funded two-centre ICP/CPP trial in severe TBI, screening 40+ patients and enrolling 11 participants while conducting informed consent in ICU settings. I operate ICM+ cerebral physiological monitoring software, manage CRF completion and source documentation, verify data quality, and ensure audit-ready Investigator Site Files with IEC continuing reviews, amendments, progress reporting, and AE/SAE identification per ICH-GCP (E6 R2).

I also coordinate prospective medical device studies with ISO 14155-aligned documentation, lead structured retrospective polytrauma data abstraction and database development, and contribute to quality improvement work through the Stanford–NCG EQuIP India collaborative with measurable system-level impact in neurocritical care and palliative care integration. Earlier, as an Immunoassay Development Scientist, I optimized nanoparticle-based immunoassays (15% reduction in variance) under GLP and ISO 13485 standards, strengthening my end-to-end research and compliance mindset.
