Kimberly (Lovell) Donnelly Ph.d., CCRP
Education
- I am a CCRP through SOCRA.

Professional experience
I began my career working at the benchtop as a medicinal chemist and gained experience in scientific writing and project management while being trained in organic chemistry, biochemistry, and physiology. During my career as a medicinal chemist, I realized my passion for science aligned more closely with clinical research and I made the transition to clinical research starting as a clinical research coordinator.
Throughout my clinical research career, I have successfully managed investigator-initiated projects, as well as pharmaceutical sponsored trials, and worked on over 100 clinical trials. I have overseen all aspects of these projects with responsibilities including but not limited to staffing, training, budget development and negotiations, regulatory, patient care and safety, protocol development, data collection, and data analysis.
Having the opportunity to work in so many areas for drug discovery makes me well suited to assist you in your research endeavours. Together we can speed up clinical trial design, development, and recruitment.
