My over 20 years experience enables me to answer questions relating to Research Consent in Medical Research. Subject's rights are not discussed enough and it is an area the general public is not aware of in that great effort and many FDA and institutional guidelines and rules carry the ethics in which research is guiding the individuals experience in research.
Varied experience (Institutional Review Board Administrator and Board Participant, Research Monitor, Research Coordinator, Clinical Trial Data Manager, Research Interviewer) in many forms of research; cancer clinical trials; Alzheimers Disease; psychiatric adolescent research and epidemiology (colon and lung cancer). I have created protocols and carried them out in the field, the hospital setting and on the phone and in the field as an interviewer. I have been an administrator in three NYC Institutional Review Boards, reviewing protocols with knoweledge of the FDA research regulations. Also, I have been on the Institutional Review Board of a well known university hospital here in NYC.
Most recently, created a Standard of Practice for a Department of Orthopaedics here in NYC as a Department Research Coordinator.
