Background

About Payal Dhande

I am a results-oriented pharmaceutical professional with a Master’s in Pharmacy and over 3 years of progressive experience in the clinical research and healthcare industry. My core expertise lies in clinical trial operations, query management, and clinical data management (CDM), with a strong focus on regulatory compliance, data quality, and process optimization. At Labcorp Drug Development, I am working for over 2 years as a Global Investigator Support Assistant within the Query Management Team, where I was responsible for addressing and resolving clinical data queries, facilitating site-level communication, and ensuring timely data clarification to support clean and auditable trial data. My role required close coordination with global stakeholders, adherence to GCP guidelines, and extensive use of EDC systems (e.g, contact center, investigator portal, Zavacor, Gopher, workfront). Previously, at Cognizant Technology Solutions, I contributed to clinical data management activities including CRF annotation, discrepancy management, and SAE reconciliation, using industry-standard tools (Medidata Rave)and platforms while ensuring compliance with CDISC standards and sponsor-specific SOPs. I am now seeking to leverage my domain knowledge, technical proficiency, and cross-functional collaboration skills in a dynamic organization focused on innovation and excellence in clinical research or pharmaceutical development.
