Sheeona Gorman, PhD is project director for the NCATS funded Trial Innovation Center (TIC) at Tufts Medical Center. The Johns Hopkins-Tufts TIC is one of three TICs in the NCATS Trial Innovation Network which will develop innovative trial practices and provide expertise and support to improve the efficiency and quality of multisite clinical trials within the CTSA program network.

Previously, Sheeona was a program manager at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) where she coordinated international multidisciplinary research programs funded by the European Commission and national funding agencies worth over $50M in the areas of connected health, assistive technology, advanced imaging and biophotonics. She has served on a number of consortium planning committees including the European Molecular Imaging Doctoral School (EMIDS) and the European Strategy Forum for Research Infrastructures (ESFRI).

Prior to joining RCSI, Sheeona worked in ICONplc as a project manager where she managed a portfolio over 15 Phase I-IV clinical trials for major pharmaceutical companies. Sheeona earned her BSc (Hons) degree in biochemistry from the National University of Ireland Galway and received a PhD from University College Dublin which focused on molecular mechanisms driving genomic instability in response to radiotherapy in colorectal cancer.
