In 1999, she successfully graduated from the University of Lyon I (France) with a PhD in Human Biology, with specialization in Immunology.

The American Adventure
For the past three years, she has been specifically responsible for opening an ongoing phase IIb international clinical trial in the USA, consequently, she has shared her time between France and Florida. She was in charge of contacting the investigators, performing pre-study visits, following on IRB submissions and supporting the local CRAs on a daily basis. She was also actively involved in the preparation and submission of the IND dossier.
The Quality Assurance Turning Point
During her career, she has worked in close collaboration with Quality Assurance teams, writing SOPs, managing and reviewing CAPAs. Detailed-oriented, she has always had high standards in her work and improved the quality of the projects with which she has been involved. In 2018, she decided to move to Quality Assurance and Auditing.
She was certified as a GCP Auditor by Barnett International in 2018 and has already conducted more than 25 GCP investigational sites audits.
Her Strengths and Specificities

knowledge of both European and FDA regulations, and the variety of her
experience, as detailed above.

opportunity to be involved in every aspects of a clinical study.
Having traveled

adaptable and flexible.
She is reliable, hard-working and committed to delivering high quality work.
She is fluent in French and English and has an advanced knowledge of Spanish and
