Connecting with diverse groups of people is an aspect of clinical trials that Anjali, Clinical Trials Manager & Epidemiologist at SITU-NDORMS thrives on! Anjali is currently the trial manager of the GEKO study: geko.octru.ox.ac.uk #ICTD2026 @geko-study.bsky.social @situ-oxford.bsky.social

My initiation to clinical trials was by re-evaluating two long-running series of UK childhood leukaemia trials as part of my doctoral research and seeing how they contributed to 5-year survival rates increasing from less than 5% in the early 1960s to currently over 85% - and I got to demonstrate children are being cured! I am now managing the GEKO clinical trial and the aspect I enjoy most is the enormous number of people whom I get to connect with including possible participants, patient representatives, health professionals, and academics from many disciplines who are all single-mindedly committed to improving health outcomes. - Anjali, Clinical Trials Manager & Epidemiologist
