Catherine Griffin
Pharmaceutical Assessor
Catherine joined the HPRA as a summer student in the Human Medicines Licensing department while completing a Master’s Degree in Pharmaceutical Quality Assurance and Biotechnology from Dublin Institute of Technology and quickly became involved in several projects, one of which lead to her masters dissertation.
The following year, Catherine became a Scientific Officer in Advertising Compliance which was a new work area for the HPRA. Having been involved in various projects as a student meant that Catherine had the experience to work with the marketing compliance manager in developing the advertising compliance programme for the HPRA.
After four years in the Advertising Compliance section, Catherine transferred to the Pharmaceutical Assessment section in our Human Products Authorisation and Registration Department (HPAR).
