Karen Wilkinson

I am a Knowledge Transfer Manager in the Health team, focussing nationally on the medicines manufacturing sector, as well as representing Innovate UK KTN Health in the Yorkshire and Humber region on a broader range of health-related applications such as digital health and medical technologies.

I am one of KTN’s representatives on the Medicines Manufacturing Industry Partnership. My key skills and experience lie in medicines manufacturing, clinical trials, medical devices, and digital health.

I joined KTN in 2019 from the University of Sheffield, where I managed industrial research collaborations, and IP development for medicine, health and care research. Prior to this I worked for 15 years in the pharmaceutical sector, managing international clinical trials.

Get in touch if you are an innovative, R&D-active company operating in medicines manufacturing in the UK, or if you are a health-based company based in the Yorkshire and Humber region, and would like to connect with new partners and opportunities to accelerate your ideas into real-world solutions.
