Payal Shah joined The West Coast Consortium for Technology & Innovation in Pediatrics (CTIP) in 2018 as a Research Associate focusing on the Real World Evidence project. She primarily supports the generation, capture and use of cost-effective real world data for the evaluation of pediatric medical devices. Payal has 5 years of experience in clinical research involving protocol design, IRB submissions, recruitment, statistical analysis, and publication of manuscripts. She is fascinated by the challenges of understanding the physiological signals from medical devices and its association with patient reported outcomes. Her interest in the study of autonomic vascular dysfunction in sickle cell disease has led to her key publications in the field.
Payal received her Bachelor’s in complementary medicine as a Homeopathic physician from India and Master’s in clinical, biomedical and translational investigations from the University of Southern California. Her goal is to become a Research Scientist. In her spare time, Payal enjoys spending time with family and friends. She says if she was not a researcher, then she would have been an actor.
