CanadaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a regulatory and clinical research professional and recent graduate of a Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Research, Pharmacovigilance, and Regulatory Affairs. I’ve supported IRB submissions, amendments, and continuing reviews via Advarra, and prepared, reviewed, and maintained regulatory documents such as protocols, ICFs, and safety reports.
I ensure regulatory compliance through document version control and TMF accuracy, while collaborating with investigators and cross-functional teams to support study operations. With a pharmacy and public health background and prior regulatory/clinical pharmacist experience supporting NAFDAC compliance, inspections, and ADR documentation, I’m ready to contribute to submission-ready, ICH-GCP-aligned work.
