TTRA Staff Changes

09 August 2022

Our Senior Director TTRA Lauren Kelly will be taking parental leave from today, and we wish her all the best for this new chapter with her family.

This has prompted some interim changes to the structure of our Targeted Translation Research Accelerator team. 

During Lauren’s absence, Dr Mana Liao who is currently Director TTRA, has been appointed Acting Senior Director TTRA, and Dr Erin McAllum who is currently Project Manager TTRA has been appointed Acting Director TTRA.

In October 2022, Dr Andionne (Didi) Parlade, who is currently Associate Project Manager, Biomedical Translation Bridge (BTB) Program will transition into the TTRA team.

We would like to congratulate Mana and Erin on their interim appointments and Didi as she starts her new role in the TTRA program.
