The role also involves conducting ophthalmic imaging using both standard and investigational devices including Heidelberg OCT, Optovue OCT-A, Oculus Pentacam, and other research-specific technologies, all in accordance with study protocols. The CRC Lead is expected to learn and implement new techniques, especially in ophthalmic photography, and will be responsible for training team members on study-specific procedures and equipment use. As the primary CRC on assigned studies, this role will oversee and guide research personnel, ensuring that all processes align with CRU operations in collaboration with the Clinical Research Manager (CRM). The CRC Lead will participate actively in all studies, assist in decision-making under CRM supervision, and contribute to building a strong, functional, and adaptive team by stepping in wherever needed. Responsibilities also include coordination of research studies, timely and accurate data entry into EDC systems, maintenance of regulatory binders, patient EHR updates, and ensuring HIPAA compliance. Additional duties involve reviewing physician schedules, coordinating referrals, maintaining patient records, onboarding new hires, managing medical supplies, troubleshooting and calibrating ophthalmic equipment, ensuring certification of instruments, assisting with planning and developing CRU operations, and supporting initiatives to improve workflow and enhance the research participant experience.
