Daniel Plotkin
Project Manager
Daniel joined the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences as Project Manager of the national ALS/MND C9orf72 Cohort study ('ACORN') in October 2022, tasked with establishing a national register of motor neuron disease patients and family members carrying the C9orf72 gene mutation. This register will be pivotal in supporting the development of therapeutic strategies and neurochemical biomarkers for ALS. Daniel also manages the Oxford GENFI 3 study, focused on genetic factors leading to Frontotemporal dementia (FTD).
Prior to joining the department, Daniel worked as Clinical Data Manager in Primary Care Health Sciences at the University of Oxford, with responsibility for all aspects of the data management of multiple clinical trials, overseeing the design, implementation and ongoing maintenance of the respective trial data platforms, ensuring successful submission of trial data for statistical and clinical analysis.
Before joining Primary Care Health Sciences, Daniel worked as Clinical Data Manager in the Department of Tropical Medicine & Global Health at the University of Oxford, leading the operational administration and management of the ISARIC - WHO COVID-19 clinical data platform, eventually gathering acute clinical COVID-19 data from 62 countries around the world.
Before the University of Oxford, Daniel worked as Clinical Data Manager in the Cancer Clinical Trials Unit at UCLH (University College London Hospitals), overseeing the submission and quality of clinical data for two later phase ovarian cancer trials.
