Meet the Medicine Makers

Nkemji Abiakam: Clinical Trials Manager


Listen Later

Meet Dr. Nkemji Abia Kam, who at the time of recording was a Clinical Trial Manager at the Diabetes Trials Unit at the University of Oxford.

In this episode of Meet the Medicine Makers, we explore what it takes to manage clinical trials, from navigating ethics approvals and training research teams to handling rejection and developing resilience in research.

We also discuss the importance of patient safety, communication, and why representation in clinical trials matters globally, including the lack of clinical trials currently taking place in Africa despite the continent carrying a significant proportion of the global disease burden.

A really insightful conversation for anyone interested in clinical trials, medicine development, and the people behind how new treatments reach patients.
