Romiya Barry

Boards Chair

Romiya started her career in research & development where she worked on medical devices for use in laboratory monitoring of patients with HIV in resource‐limited settings. She transitioned to the field of clinical research after recognizing how operations at clinical trial sites greatly affected the patients and, therefore, the immediate community the clinics served. Focusing on improvements to trial operations and management, she has provided oversight to several international, multi-center observational and comparative studies. Romiya has performed clinical research functions in regulatory affairs, clinical marketing, and program & project management. Her work has supported the development of medical devices for patients with critical care health issues and chronic diseases such as HIV, thrombotic and bleeding disorders, and Type 2 diabetes. She serves as a merit reviewer for the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute, volunteers for Project Managers without Borders, and maintains active participation in several professional and community organizations. Romiya holds an M.Sc. in Clinical Investigation from the MGH Institute of Health Professions, a B.Sc. in Biology/Biotechnology from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and is pursuing a Ph.D. in Translational Health Sciences from The George Washington University. She lives in Groton, MA with her husband and their two children.
