Sarah Pearson

BSc

OCTO Trial Management Director

OCTO Trial Management Director

After a degree in Human Biology I worked on various cancer epidemiology and genetics projects.   Driven by an interest to work in research with a more direct impact on cancer patient care, I joined OCTO as a Clinical Trial Coordinator in 2004, became a project manager in 2007 and the group’s Trial Management Director in 2008.    The role involves leading the operational activity in the CTU including the specialist teams which design and deliver a broad portfolio of CTIMPs, non-CTIMPs and device trials.

I led the OCTO team through a merger with other Oxford CTUs which created the UKCRC Registered CTU OCTRU, and have adapted the operational structures from supporting late phase trials to delivery of early phase (FIH to phase II) trials and more recently into early detection and precision prevention.
