Lynne Becker

Power of Patients – Founder
CACI, Inc – Staff Member
PCORI – Board Member

Years Involved in Patient Centered Research: 10+ years
State: South Carolina
Stakeholder Type: Researcher

Lynne Becker holds a Master of Science in Public Health in biostatistics and epidemiology from Loma Linda University School of Public Health and has more than 20 years of experience in drug metabolism, orthopedics, diabetes, traumatic brain injury, obesity, devices, oncology, ophthalmology, dermatology, animal research, gastrointestinal disorders, biologics, and behavioral research. She has corporate, academic, and government experience, with a proficiency in telehealth applications and methodologies. She also has an in-depth understanding of clinical trial management from both sponsor and site perspectives, having managed multiple and diverse portfolio projects in dynamic environments both nationally and internationally. In 2016 her daughter was severely injured with a traumatic brain injury, and she had to assume the role of her daughter’s caregiver as she rehabilitated. Becker became an Ambassador not only because of her own personal experience as a true caregiver but also because of her desire to shape research, which often overlooks the impact on study participants.
