About

Laura has been a member of the Price Institute since 1975. She started as a microbiology researcher and has since evolved into our senior clinical research coordinator. Without Laura's vast expertise and knowledge, much of the clinical research at the Price Institute would not be possible. She is our "Go To" person for anything associated with clinical projects.
