Overview

Silvia’s role is to support the early engagement of the public and other relevant communities (including charities, patient groups, academics, clinicians and industry) with the Wellcome-funded Translational Research Exchange @ Exeter (TREE). She will act as initial point of contact for engagement with the public and relevant communities; develop and strengthen links with relevant individuals, communities and groups who have an interest in engaging with, and shaping new, research opportunities.

Before moving to Exeter in April 2017, Silvia worked for several charities, policy institutes and think tanks in England and Belgium.
