We want to spread the word about Gillian's sister Barbara and her move to Tulane University in New Orleans. Here's part of the article in Tulane's newsletter.
NAVIGATOR TO GUIDE CLINICAL RESEARCHERS
Barbara E. Kurth, formerly with the University of Virginia Cancer Center, serves as the new research navigator, helping health sciences faculty members and trainees involved in clinical trials.
Clinical research faculty and trainees in health sciences at Tulane and Louisiana State universities now have a partner to assist in the development of innovative, investigator-initiated clinical trials. Barbara E. Kurth, new clinical research navigator, will facilitate the progress of clinical research at both institutions from conception to analysis and publication of data.
Kurth will work with researchers as they draft studies and will assist in their use of biostatistics, bioinformatics and electronic protocol management as well as be a liaison with intellectual property officers, contract officers, scientific review committee members and data and safety monitoring personnel.
Kurth, who received her doctorate in 1988 from the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, comes to this new position from the University of Virginia Cancer Center, where she was a clinical trials scientist and assistant professor of research.
AND she gets to live in New Orleans! Loves it, so far, especially the wonderful restaurants. Expect visitors, Barbara!
