Ayrun Nessa
Ayrun has been an integral member of TwinsUK for 14 years initially working as a Lab Assistant. Later Ayrun joined the Clinical Research Team as Research Assistant, ultimately progressing to her current role, leading and overseeing twin visits.
Ayrun has been a key member in improving twin visits, developing, implementing and rolling out new visit structures, working with all teams within the DTR to develop and pilot new research tests, and most importantly ensuring that all ethical and legal standards are strictly maintained.
Ayrun has seen many changes over the years, from booking twins using handwritten diaries to the electronic systems we use now. Twin visits remain Ayrun’s favourite part of her job, particularly seeing the twins more than once over the years on repeat visits.
