Delsie joined the Focal Point Research team in 2011 and has been an invaluable asset for our clients. With her strong regulatory and quality assurance background, she is able to audit facilities, set up and maintain GMP compliant facilities, develop strong quality management systems, and co-ordinate successful Health Canada inspections. In addition to this, Delsie oversees all submissions made to Health Canada and the US FDA.

Delsie obtained an Honours Bachelor of Science (Hons. B.
