In my role as the HCA UK/EU Science Strategy Manager, I am responsible for the strategic scientific delivery of the Human Cell Atlas project (UK/EU) by maintaining a portfolio view of the HCA research delivered by the HCA Principal Investigators (PIs) and project teams. I identify and facilitate strategic scientific opportunities based on the HCA project aims, local strategy of HCA Investigators, funding landscape, and national and global opportunities. Working closely with the HCA Alliance Manager (based at the Broad Institute, US) and HCA PIs, I support UK/EU projects in delivering their research aims within the HCA framework. Within this, I build close relationships and continued partnerships with related strategic initiatives and funders in the UK and EU (Wellcome, Medical Research Council (MRC), INSERM, LifeTime, etc.), and identify potential new partnerships to ensure the success of the project.

I have a Certificate in Coaching from the University of Cambridge's Institute for Continuing Education.
