Trend nonconformances against predefined Acceptable Quality Limits (AQLs) to assess for identification of systemic risks. - Facilitate mandatory CAPA Review Board (CRB) forums to evaluate Investigational planning and progression status, CAPA proposals and implantation status, Effectiveness of CAPAs to address root cause and reduce nonconformance recurrence likelihood to acceptable residual levels.

authorities), for communicating updates to Field Action activities and for submitting responses/commitments to address competent authority enquiries. – Change Control Committee designee for evaluation/assessment of proposed process/documentation changes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Developed within a small project team a semi-automated excel-based Complaints Monitoring Platform to measure the timely reporting and registration of new complaints originating from 33 EMEA county offices. The model pulled complaint data from inbound site-specific spreadsheets and tracked them against global validated Complaint databases (INET and TrackWise). This platform exposed compliance risks for proactive intervention, and non-conformances for elimination via the CAPA system. Findings were summarised and presented daily to Global HQ. This new process increased regional compliance from 92% to >98%. - Created training slide decks and user manuals for purpose of enforcing, via teleconference, approved complaint handling guidelines across all aforementioned sites. - Maintained a compliance escalation pathway from site personnel to country/regional/global management. - Authored a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) to formalise the roles and responsibilities of this new Safety department (Reconciliation Department).

Dissertation: ‘An Investigation into the Chemotherapeutic Properties of Artemisinin and Two Synthetic Derivatives within

Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cell-Culture Assays’.Wound Healing assays demonstrated that Artemisinin inhibited HepG2 cell proliferation. The two synthetic derivatives investigated (Artemether and Artesunate) presented comparable In Vitro chemotherapeutic properties. Immunohistochemistry assays were used to quantify protein expression levels, and identified a significant Artemisinin-mediated increase in E-cadherin (a cell-cell adhesion molecule). This indicates that Artemisinins anti-cancer mode of action (MoA) could derive from decreased cellular motility, which would inhibit cancer cell replication and metastasis.
