Seda Abgaryan
@sedaabgaryan
Clinical and public health research specialist specializing in GCP quality assurance, data analysis, and study coordination.
What I'm looking for
I’m a clinical and public health research professional with over 10 years of experience in epidemiological research, study coordination, monitoring and evaluation, and healthcare program implementation. I focus on research protocol implementation, data collection and quality assurance, regulatory documentation, and scientific reporting with strong ethical and compliance discipline.
In my current work as a Quality Assurance Specialist at Gurus CRO, I support compliance with GxP, QMS, ISMS, and regulatory requirements—strengthening audit readiness, managing SOPs and controlled documentation, and working toward consistent GCP-aligned quality across operations. I also contribute to process improvement initiatives, risk identification, and deliverables such as Clinical Evaluation Report (CER) support, while using SPSS, Stata, and Excel for analysis and reporting.
Beyond QA, I’ve built experience across the full research lifecycle—developing and coordinating public health campaigns, organizing MEAL activities, and supporting research teams and international stakeholders. From monitoring HIV-related outcomes as a Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist to writing and reviewing medical literature as a Medical Writer, I bring analytical rigor, clear communication, and a careful, detail-driven approach to ensuring successful study execution.
