About Debasmita Roy

I’m a Research Associate at Sapien BioSciences with over 2 years of combined experience in clinical data abstraction, biospecimen coordination, and regulatory documentation within oncology-focused research. At Sapien, I work at the intersection of clinical operations and data management. I extract critical patient information (demographics, treatment history, diagnostics) from medical records and ensure accurate, high-quality data entry into structured databases. I also manage biological samples such as DNA, RNA, plasma, and PBMCs—ensuring traceability, compliance, and audit readiness throughout the sample lifecycle. My experience has helped me develop a strong foundation in Good Clinical Practice (GCP), CRF filling (paper & digital), data quality control, source document verification, and clinical documentation aligned with regulatory standards. I work closely with cross-functional teams including clinical staff, data managers, and lab technicians to keep workflows smooth, timely, and accurate. Currently, I’m actively upskilling in: CRF Design & Mapping SQL for data handling EDC tools: REDCap & Medidata Rave I’m passionate about building a long-term career in Clinical Data Management, contributing to clean, validated, and regulatory-compliant datasets that power impactful clinical trials and research outcomes.
