Colm Carroll

Innovative Medicines Initiative

Trained as medicinal chemist with a PhD from Imperial College London, Colm spent several years working on hit-to-lead and lead optimisation programs in the central nervous system field for a number of large pharmaceutical companies.
Recently, Colm has developed an interest in innovation and the economic drivers of the pharmaceutical industry. In pursuit of this interest, he has studied Health Economics at the London School of Economics. This interest also led him to his current position of scientific project manager in the Innovative Medicines Initiative where he is responsible for projects in the knowledge management pillar, and also works with Hugh Laverty on the chemistry orientated projects within the IMI.
