Mr James Heighway

Profile

In 2014, I worked for a year and a half as a laboratory and clerical assistant at the Antenatal Screening Department based in Charterhouse square campus.

I then joined the Women’s Health Research Unit in early 2016 as a Data Assistant on the SALVO clinical trial. I further developed understanding and knowledge in clinical research in my role as BARC Data assistant in the Women’s Health Research Unit in early 2018. Here I was involved in assessing the quality and completeness of data collected in the BARC clinical trials studies.

In October 2019, I became Trial Coordinator of the TILT Trial. This full-scale study aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of Time Lapse Imaging for the incubation and selection of higher quality embryos in IVF treatment.
