Managing research projects with excellence

It’s noteworthy when a busy clinician-researcher emails to recognize a team member’s efforts. When thank-you emails from 2 different principal investigators (PI) hit the inbox within 24 hours, you know that person’s done something extraordinary. Please join me in recognizing Dr. Mark Agyapong for his outstanding work as Clinical Research Manager in the Department of Medicine’s Clinical Research Unit. One PI extolled Mark’s ability to keep projects moving forward, to be strategic regarding next steps, and to produce deliverables on time. Another researcher gratefully acknowledged Mark’s concise meeting notes, organizational skills, and his team’s contributions toward publishing her research findings. Mark’s commitment to high-quality research ensures our patients have access to innovative therapies that improve their quality of life.
