Please join us in extending our heartfelt gratitude to Deborah Hopkins, MA, AAS, CMA (AAMA), CCT, for 10 years of dedication to ARLG research at Duke Clinical Research Institute (DCRI). In July, Deborah retired from her role as a Clinical Trials Coordinator II where she provided vital study team, site management, monitoring, and regulatory support. From study start-up through close-out, her contributions have made a valuable impact on countless research projects over the past decade. In that time, she has collaborated to share her knowledge and expertise with study teams across the U.S. and in countries around the world including China, Israel, and Spain.

Looking back over her career, Deborah is proud of her commitment to ARLG’s mission and considers every study she worked on to be significant. “I believe in the sharing of knowledge across the globe and improving health care for everyone,” she states.

In retirement, Deborah looks forward to visiting the beach and mountains and spending more time with her family and grandchildren. She also plans to continue sharing her knowledge with others by volunteering as a teacher and pursuing her PhD in theology.
