Projects included: Successful scrubbing and redesign of database to increase efficiency and increase data tracking. Decreased size of database by 50% while increased data points tracked by 35%. Successfully reinvested families in the registry project, with over 40% of families previously lost to follow-up recovered and re-enrolled. Recruited new families (10%) into the registry program by actively interacting with families and support networks, both in person and online (including development of Facebook, Twitter and blog). Successful marketing of registry, data and biosamples to researcher base (80% new contracts). Maintained and expanded grant funding for the department through state funds and collaborations with external research groups for federal funds. Lead on mid-phase development of corporate software, including quality assurance, data migration, data scrubbing and final revisions.

Responsible for the development, submission and management of grant proposals, peer-reviewed articles, and regulatory requirements. Projects included: Development of a novel in house circulating tumor cell assay, to quantify the CTCs in women diagnosed with breast cancer and accessing follow-up care at HFH. Integration of a project between a clinician, molecular epidemiologist and research scientist to develop a model for exploring the proteins and genes involved in the lymph node metastasis of breast cancer. Coordination of an in house prostate cancer screening project via engagement of multiple individuals to participate in the development of a DNA methylation assay. Successful implementation of research study into the contribution of immune imbalance to uterine fibroids (grant funded).
