Kate graduated from UCL with a PhD in biochemistry in 2009 and went on to spend three years at Barts Health NHS Trust as a Trainee Clinical Scientist.  Following this, she moved into clinical research, taking on the role of Research Coordinator of GIFTS, an EU FP7-funded programme investigating the role of foetal programming in diabetes in South Asians.

In April 2015, Kate was promoted to Clinical Project Manager. Her role entails early-stage trial development, project management of a range of clinical trials over a variety of therapeutic areas and she is also taking the lead on investigational medicinal product within the unit.
