Claire Davies
Project Manager – TR-ANZGOG (Translational ANZGOG)
Project Manager – TR-ANZGOG (Translational ANZGOG)
I’m responsible for the development, implementation, and coordination of mechanisms that facilitate translational research. Translational research refers to the process of translating questions raised in the clinic, to questions that can be addressed in the laboratory, with subsequent results translated back to the clinic to improve patient care. My role supports the collection, and custodianship, of biospecimens and data associated with ANZGOG trials and translational projects.
