Event Description

It’s exciting time in clinical research & operations – managing trials for new therapeutics to benefit patients, incorporating new technologies such as AI and more.  “ClinOps” professionals must have strong project management skills to successfully and strategically manage the many moving parts in clinical trials, among them the ability to: balance scope, budget and time; lead cross-functional teams; communicate with stakeholders; solve problems and manage risk.  But how do you position yourself to break into this field from an academic scientific background?  Join PMINJ to hear Cortney Miller, Ph.D., PMP share her journey from earning a Ph.D. in Neurobiology & Neurosciences to her current role as Associate Director of Clinical Operations at Dyne Therapeutics, with career pathways and practical approaches to begin entering this field.  Dr. Miller’s presentation will also include a personal branding exercise to illustrate how the skills you’ve developed, including your foundational project management skills, can “get you in the door” of this field.
