Vice President of Operations

Why I’m Passionate About Unifying Patients and Research:

I am passionate about unifying patients with clinical research because being a research participant saved my life. As a child, I participated in an oncology research study that provided the treatment and care that I needed to survive. Research saves lives and provides people with hope. I am grateful to serve in an industry that creates these opportunities. 

With a passion for clinical research, Heather Fitzgerald brings over 15 years of regulatory, operational, and compliance experience in the human research protection field to Univo IRB.
