Saskia Lawson-Tovey

I am a data scientist in the Centre for Musculoskeletal Research at the University of Manchester, working on the EULAR COVID-19 and COVAX registries, and CLUSTER consortium. My main interests are in electronic clinical data collection (in particular, REDCap), FAIR data stewardship, data pseudonymisation and harmonisation (primarily clinical data). Making data management accessible for those who don’t have the technical knowledge and/or relevant experience is important to me; I hold a degree in languages and learnt database and data management skills in the workplace, often on my own with little support as the resources didn’t exist.
