Teams and roles for Joanne Euden
Research Fellow – Senior Trial Manager
Overview
A Research Fellow in the Division of Infections, Inflammation and Immunity at the Centre for Trials Research (CTR), I am the theme lead for Infectious Diseases within the division. Prior to transitioning into clincial research, I was a post-doctoral researcher at the Wales Heart Reseach Institute (WHRI) at Cardiff University.
My interests are in Point of Care Testing (POCT) and infectious disease diagnostics with a particularly interest in secondary care (Emergency Medicine). However, any trial/study that works towards improving patient care by implementing new and improved interventions to the NHS will gain my interest!
Active trials I am working on include:
REFINE
EXCISE (https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/centre-for-trials-research/research/studies-and-trials/view/excise)
ESTEEM (https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/centre-for-trials-research/research/studies-and-trials/view/esteem)
EVITA (https://fundingawards.nihr.ac.uk/award/NIHR162027)
Previous Studies:
PRONTO (https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/centre-for-trials-research/research/studies-and-trials/view/pronto)
PEACH (https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/centre-for-trials-research/research/studies-and-trials/view/peach)
RAPID-PROTECTION (https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/centre-for-trials-research/research/studies-and-trials/view/rapid-protection)
ENCEPH-IG (https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/centre-for-trials-research/research/studies-and-trials/view/enceph-ig)
I am open to collaborative approaches within the fields of infections and immunity.
