I really like the size of the company and the exposure to different elements of the business it allows me. The work is interesting, problems aren’t cookie-cutter, and everyone’s efforts contribute to the advancement of worthy goals. The team is friendly, collaborative, and extremely technically...
My team gets to investigate new techniques, evaluate new technologies, and respond directly to sponsor feedback by building solutions rather than saying no. Over the years, many projects started with nothing more than a research paper and an idea that had never been implemented at...
With a background in biomedical science, cancer research, and medical writing, I support clinical oncology studies through scientific and market research, and by drafting proposals, clinical trial imaging and endpoint protocols, and white papers that help MERIT's employees and clients understand complex oncology concepts....
My role focuses on identifying potential clients we can partner with to help bring their clinical trials to life. I work to build relationships, educate prospects on what sets us apart, and guide them through the process from first conversation to signed partnership....
I really enjoy how collaboratively all teams at MERIT work and support one another; everyone is invested in seeing each other succeed. Working remotely allows for a good work-life balance, but traveling to conferences to see my colleagues in person is always a highlight of...
Preclinical ocular research requires non-invasive, repeatable imaging that can detect meaningful changes in the living eye. Two imaging tools, color fundus photography (FP) and optical coherence tomography (OCT), have become central to that effort, providing complementary views of retinal structure that together cover what neither...
Delivering a drug to the retina is a technically demanding problem. The eye is a small, enclosed space with multiple tissue layers, each with its own properties and barriers. Getting a drug or therapy to the right layer, in sufficient quantity, without damaging the tissue...
I’ve always enjoyed science and problem-solving, so the opportunity to contribute to ophthalmology research was a natural fit....
The electroretinogram (ERG) has been a standard tool in clinical ophthalmology for decades, but its role in preclinical research has quietly expanded into territory well beyond its origins in retinal disease diagnosis....
Visual evoked potentials (VEPs) are the electrical signals the brain generates in response to light, and they have long been a fixture of clinical neurology. But in preclinical research, they are earning a second reputation: as sensitive, quantitative measures capable of tracking disease progression and...
I really love the collaborative culture at MERIT. Even though we have employees across the globe, everyone is incredibly easy to work with and conscious of accommodating different time zones....
Clinical research is the vital bridge between the laboratory and the patient's bedside. I enjoy the challenge of managing complex studies and the satisfaction of knowing that my work contributes to the advancement of medicine....
