In September, we said goodbye to our Scientific Projects Manger, Eve.
Eve will be very missed at Beacon, but we can’t wait to see where her next adventure takes her!
Read her leaving blog below to learn some of her highlights from the past few years at Beacon!
Can you sum up your time at Beacon for us?
The last 3 years have been a real treat. I knew that working for Beacon would push me out of my comfort zone in the best way possible and it really has.
I have had the opportunity to meet and learn from and with such a welcoming, interesting and generally excellent group of people both within the team and beyond.
I have been so grateful for the collaborators and the beneficiary’s response to our work, and it has been a genuine privilege and a pleasure to be part of a real period of growth, change and increased brilliantness for Beacon.
What will you be doing after Beacon?
I am going back to the NHS to work for NHS Blood & Transplant at their Clinical Trials Unit in Cambridge.
I’ll be helping support approval, set up and delivery of trials in these exciting areas of medicine that frankly, I didn’t even consider you would be able to run trials in!
What is your highlight/your greatest achievement from your time at Beacon?
It is hard to choose one! My greatest achievements were definitely where I have been lucky enough to work with excellent patient groups and representatives to make real change in research projects for now and the future.
This has been the case particularly in our collaborative projects with REMEDi4ALL and the LifeArc Translational Centres for Rare Disease where some of our work has helped change narratives, protocols and even the minds of regulators!
Thank you to everyone I have met along the way.
The last 3 years have been full of great conversations, laughs and learning – I will miss this community!
