Our Team

With extensive experience of assisting clients in the selection, modification, development and validation of Clinical Outcomes Assessments (COAs) for regulatory and market access purposes, Adam provides senior strategic input and leads research teams in the delivery of projects across a wide range of therapeutic areas.

He also has interest in and has published research on treatment tolerability, satisfaction and adherence. Adam holds an MSc in Health Psychology and a BSc in Psychology, from Staffordshire University and the University of Leeds, respectively.

Outside of work, Adam divides his time between playing 5-a-side football (badly), gigging with his band (usually in front of about 10 people) and filling the spare room with his growing collection of retro video games (much to his wife’s annoyance!)

With experience of study design and instrument development, implementation, and psychometric evaluation across a wide variety of therapeutic areas, Alan provides senior, strategic input on projects focused on the development and implementation of patient-reported and other outcomes assessment instruments.

Alan trained as a clinical psychologist and received his PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of Montana.

Aside from his work, Alan and his wife are raising their three daughters Isabella, Johanna, and Elliot in their log cabin in the Appalachian Mountains of Eastern Tennessee.

With extensive experience in development and psychometric evaluation of Clinical Outcomes Assessments (COAs) for regulatory and publication purposes, Ben provides senior strategic input and leads research teams in the delivery of projects across a wide range of therapeutic areas.

Ben is published in both development and psychometric evaluation of COAs and currently holds a Bachelor of Science from Boston University in Health Science with a focus on Public Health and Epidemiology. Ben has also successfully completed graduate courses at Tufts University in Epidemiology and Study Design.

Living in southern California (but hailing from the North East) Ben enjoys spending time with his wife Christine and daughter Amelia while teaching them both (much to their chagrin) the ins and outs of Red Sox history.

Having worked in health outcomes research for over 8 years, Charli has extensive experience in the selection, modification, development and validation of Clinical Outcomes Assessments (COAs) for regulatory and market access purposes. Charli has worked in a wide range of therapy areas including rheumatology, gynaecology, immunology, gastroenterology, and rare disease. Charli also has experience (and a particularly interest) in projects involving paediatric populations, research in animal health, and the testing and implementation of electronic COAs.

Prior to joining Adelphi Values, Charlotte graduated from the University of Durham with a BSc in Applied Psychology and also holds an MSc in Health Psychology from Sheffield Hallam University.

Charli has a passion for music; outside of work, she enjoys regularly going to watch live music, which has been fuelled by Manchester’s extensive music scene. Prior to moving to Manchester, Charli grew up in the suburbs of Sheffield (which, yes, gave birth to the Arctic Monkeys and Charli’s initial music interest) and enjoys countryside walks with family and friends.

With an expertise that spans across many facets of health outcomes research and therapeutic areas, Diane provides senior scientific leadership on the development, evaluation, and implementation of clinical outcome assessments (COAs) for use in medical product development to support regulatory, payer, and communication strategies, as well as for use in clinical practice to support healthcare and disease management initiatives.

Diane earned her M.A. and Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology from the University of Rhode Island with a concentration in social and behavioral health research.

Diane lives in Rhode Island with her husband, Bob, and their children Maia and Robert. Their favorite family activities involve baseball/softball, basketball, band concerts, snowmobiling, and racing events.

With 10 years of experience in the development, evaluation, and implementation of clinical outcome assessments, Fiona leads project teams within the Patient-Centered Outcomes practice, managing both qualitative and quantitative health outcomes research studies.

Fiona holds a Masters degree in Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry from the University of Oxford, with final year options in oncology, virology, and neuropharmacology.

Outside of work, Fiona enjoys spending time in the great outdoors and can be found hiking, rock climbing, sailing, or snowboarding, depending on the season.

With extensive experience in clinical trials as a medical statistician and an instrument developer with the EORTC quality of life group, Kim provides strategic input on instrument development and the analysis and interpretation of patient-reported outcome data. She specialises in the analysis of longitudinal data with informative missing data.

Her PhD in Medicine from the University of Leeds used novel methodology to guide interpretation of scores from one of the most used oncology patient-reported outcome measures, the EORTC QLQ-C30. The published guidelines are now widely cited and provide guidance on appropriate minimally important differences (MIDs) for each subscale.

Kim lives in a small village in the Yorkshire Dales with her husband and two children. She enjoys running, hiking and golf…anything in the Great British countryside really!

With over twelve years of Human Resources Generalist and Manager experience within high technology, insurance and alternative energy organizations, Kristen manages Human Resources for Adelphi Values US, including employer branding, recruitment, staff development, employee relations and compensation.

Kristen holds a BA in Business Management from Regis College in Weston, MA.

A proud child of the 1980’s, Kristen spends her free time listening to 80’s pop bands, and educating her twin daughters about “the good old days.”

With over 10 years’ experience in clinical research in both academia and industry, Leighann has expertise in both qualitative and quantitative patient-centered research. She has developed clinical outcome assessments (COAs) across a broad range of therapeutic areas, but has particular interest in outcomes for gastrointestinal diseases.

Leighann earned her M.A. and Ph.D. in Social/Health Psychology from Stony Brook University, with a concentration in methodology and analysis. In addition, Leighann completed advanced training in clinical trial design and biostatistics.

Leighann lives in New York with her husband and twin daughters. In the summer they enjoy spending time sailing the Long Island Sound and beyond. In the winter they work on all the home projects they neglected during the summer, and count down the days until their boat goes back in the water.

In her position as an Associate Director, Nikki provides senior input on the delivery of projects within the Patient-Centered Outcomes practice of Adelphi Values. Nikki has a particular interest in orphan and rare diseases and has conducted a number of projects involving patients with rare diseases and their caregivers and has presented an ISPOR workshop on evidence requirements in rare diseases.

Nikki has a BSc (Hons) degree in Biology and English from Keele University and an MSc (Distinction) in Psychological Research Methods from The Open University.

Having grown up on a farm in the Cheshire countryside when not at work Nikki enjoys being outside, spending time looking after animals or just enjoying the local scenery. When not outside Nikki can be found channelling her inner farmer’s wife in the kitchen cooking or baking.

Rachael provides statistical leadership and input to projects for the Patient-Centered Outcomes team at Adelphi Values. Rachael has extensive experience of the pharmaceutical industry and clinical trials and programmes, including those with clinical trial objectives relating to assessing the effect of treatment using patient reported outcomes.

Prior to joining Adelphi Values, Rachael worked for sixteen years at a global pharma company, most recently as Principal Statistician and as global-project statistician on a number of oncology projects. Rachael is an active member of the scientific committee for ‘Statisticians in Pharmaceutical Industry’ professional body (PSI).
