Summary
Sarah Burge is a research and clinical integration leader with 13 years of experience bridging molecular biology, bioinformatics, and health systems to operationalize precision cancer care. As Director of Clinical Integration at the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Centre and Development Director for the Integrated Cancer Medicine Programme at Cambridge, she designs data and workflow architectures that embed diagnostics and AI into real-world clinical pathways and major trials like RECOVERY. Her PhD in Biophysics and early roles at Sanger and EMBL‑EBI give her deep technical fluency in RNA informatics and data curation, which she couples with programme delivery skills (PRINCE2/Agile) to move innovations from lab to bedside ethically and efficiently. She also brings hands-on crisis coordination experience from Cambridge’s COVID response and a proven track record in cross-sector partnerships with NHS, academia, and industry. Outside clinical work she applies strategic governance experience as a trustee and former chair of active travel charity Camcycle, underscoring a broader commitment to sustainable, community-focused health.
