I was working within the Oncology & Haematology department at the Churchill Hospital, Oxford as a Clinical Coordinator.
What interested you about working with QUOD and OTB?
I have previous experience with haematology and lab work and thought a role within a research biobank sounded interesting and rewarding.

I am the Senior Biobank Coordinator for OTB & QUANTUM biobanks and the Regional Operational Coordinator for the Oxford region for QUOD. I retrieve and process donor samples, ensure accurate entry of details into the respective biobank databases and am responsible for the smooth running of the sample collection and storage process.
Lightning round time:
If you were stuck on an island what three things would you bring?
