Message for researchers
I’m here to help you take your research to the next step. Using the experience and expertise I’ve gained in the areas related to healthcare devices, ranging from human subjects research to commercialization, I believe I can be of help for researchers in many fields.
What inspired me to become a research administrator (URA)
For many years, I worked as a researcher for a manufacturer, and also had the experience of starting up a manufacturing and sales company to turn my research ideas into commercial products. While looking for a new job, I wondered whether there’s a way to make use of my experience to help researchers, and that was when I learned about URA.
