This pivotal role is designed for an individual who thrives in a dynamic research environment and is committed to advancing cancer treatment through rigorous clinical trials.
• • As a Clinical Research Coordinator, you will be instrumental in the daily coordination and execution of clinical research activities. Your responsibilities will span the entire lifecycle of clinical research studies, from initial setup to ongoing management, ensuring the highest standards of data integrity and patient safety.
• • You will play a key role in coordinating the start-up of correlative specimen studies. This involves a deep dive into clinical trial protocols to assess their feasibility and confirm the accuracy of correlative specimen requirements. Your keen eye for detail will be crucial in identifying any potential issues or discrepancies early on.
• • A significant aspect of your role will involve close communication with the Clinical Trials Office Protocol Implementation team. You will collaborate to address any questions that arise during protocol development and ensure that any necessary revisions are accurately incorporated, maintaining the integrity of the research design.
• • You will be responsible for reviewing and editing laboratory manuals and study calendars. This ensures that all operational procedures and timelines are clearly defined, standardized, and aligned with protocol requirements, facilitating smooth execution by the research team.
• • Representing the CTPL at site study implementation and initiation meetings is a critical function. In these meetings, you will serve as the primary point of contact, providing essential information about specimen handling and processing, and ensuring seamless integration of the CTPL's activities into the broader clinical trial operations.
• • Effective communication with sponsors, as well as internal and external laboratories, is paramount. You will be the liaison for specimen analysis, ensuring that all parties are informed about specimen requirements, shipping logistics, and analytical results, thereby maintaining critical external relationships.
