What is your role and what does your work focus on?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n I work in a small unit called Health Data & Clinical Trials, or HDCT for short. We provide clinical trial and health data support to researchers and enhance research outcomes. I\u2019m currently coordinating a trial in mental health space and one in general medicine. I get the opportunity to work in a variety of trials across many different fields. Since each trial is unique by design, my role varies depending on the nature of the study.<\/p>\n Where did you work before joining CMPH?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Before joining the wonderful team at HDCT, you could find me from 6AM \u2013 3PM Monday to Friday where I was owner\/operator of my city based Japanese Caf\u00e9, Chu Chu.<\/p>\n What journey brought you to this point in your career?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n From a young age I found biology to be fascinating. My family settled in a small country town in South Australia. There, I found that I had different life experiences and ambitions to my peers. Because of this I took every opportunity to immerse myself in science. This interest carried onto my tertiary studies as I completed a Bachelor of Medical Science degree from Flinders University. My exposure to research was enhanced during my Honours year where I undertook a project in the neuro-gastroenterology laboratories in the FMC.<\/p>\n What is something you love most about your work?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n I love the variety of trials I get to be part of. The dynamic nature of my work allows me to constantly learn and develop a multitude of skills in many areas. I also love that I get to work within a small, yet flexible team.<\/p>\n If you could tell your younger self one thing, what would it be?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Cryp…to. Don\u2019t ask, just do. Run now go!!! Crypto.<\/p>\n If you had a super power what would it be?<\/strong><\/p>\n The ability to clean, iron and fold clothes in mere seconds to free up half of my weekends for more productive activities. Or fly. Both sounds good.<\/p>\n How do you like to relax or spend your spare time?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Attend the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra (ASO), try different restaurants, drink delicious wine, having naps.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>Who is the most famous person you are related to?<\/strong><\/p>\n Peter Gajewski AKA Juicy. A winemaker of 30+ years born and bred in the Barossa with bragging rights of the many accolades for World\u2019s best Sangiovese.<\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What is your role and what does your work focus on?\u00a0\u00a0 I work in a small unit called Health Data & Clinical Trials, or HDCT […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1726,"featured_media":1052,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4123],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1054","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-get-to-know-cmph"],"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/mph-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1054","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/mph-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/mph-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/mph-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1726"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/mph-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1054"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/mph-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1054\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/mph-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1054"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/mph-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1054"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/mph-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1054"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
