I am a Project Leader at Respiratory, Inflammation and Autoimmunity iMed, Gothenburg. I lead multi-disciplinary asthma research and development projects in pre-clinical and clinical phase. Two of these projects are international collaborations with pharmaceutical/biotech partners. From 2011 to 2013, I was Business Operations Director of RIA IMED and responsible for the smooth-running of the unit, comprising approximately 200 staff. In particular, this included orchestrating IMED governance through the RIA Research Board ensuring timely, high quality decision-making in support of project progression. Previously, I was Senior Project Manager at Respiratory and Inflammation Research Area (RIRA) AstraZeneca R&D, Charnwood, UK, from 2009 to 2011. During this time I was Chairperson/deputy of the Local Project Forum, bringing line managers, project leaders and senior scientists together to manage and support drug discovery projects. I was also member of the Research Area Portfolio Team (RAPT) responsible for implementing strategy and managing the size and shape of the RIRA discovery project portfolio.
