Kelly joined The Australian Collaborative Cerebral Palsy Research Group as a Data Assistant in April 2013. Over the years the role has evolved to meet the needs of the research group and her title is now Study Coordinator. The role has predominantly been responsible for coordinating the recruitment of families affected by Cerebral Palsy to our biobank and managing a cohort of biological samples for our ongoing research use. A major part of the role has been maintaining a database of personal and clinical information of our research cohorts.
