Jamika Howell

Hi 👋🏾 My name is Jamika, and I am a professional with over 6 years of experience in the Clinical Research Industry.

Profession 👩🏾‍🏫

With a solid background in clinical research, I have a proven track record of managing and coordinating all aspects of clinical trial operations. My expertise spans managing and maintaining clinical trial documentation, assisting with regulatory submissions, coordinating investigator meetings and shipments, and managing study finances. I am well-versed in ensuring compliance with ICH-GCP and relevant local regulations, as well as adhering to departmental SOPs and guidelines.

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work across multiple therapeutic areas such as Oncology, Rare Diseases, Dermatology, and Immunology, focusing on phase 2-3 studies. My skill set includes proficiency in IRT Systems, Trial Master Files (TMF), TE tracking platforms, managing import/export license applications, shipping solutions, transit monitoring, and much more.

Currently, I am a Logistical Coordinator at ICON/Sanofi, where I handle clinical distribution planning, logistics management, and TMF responsibilities. I oversee the start-up, maintenance, and archiving of essential documents from investigative sites. In my role, I have successfully managed the accurate updating and maintenance of over 15 studies simultaneously.
