Christine Manta joins Elektra Labs

We’re pleased to announce that Christine Manta has joined Elektra Labs.

We first met Christine through her work with the Clinical Trials Transformation Initiative (CTTI)’s systematic review of feasibility studies using mobile technologies in clinical research. We are honored to bring on her expertise to grow Elektra.

Prior to joining Elektra Labs, Christine has been involved in every phase of the research process including protocol development, IRB regulation and data management. While working at Christiana Care’s Value Institute, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), Christine covered a range of focus areas including health services research, tobacco cessation, malnutrition, and maternal-fetal medicine. There, she led research and evaluation projects across a variety of implementation science and patient safety initiatives, publishing several papers as first author.

Christine graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Biology from University of Delaware and a master’s in Nutrition from University of Pittsburgh. In her free time, Christine loves weightlifting and Crossfit. During the summer, Christine can be found reading a book on the beach or watching the Phillies.

Christine is responsible for leading research for the Elektra Labs Atlas platform, which supports pharma, biotech and contract research organizations (CROs) deploying connected technologies to measure digital biomarkers in remote research (e.g., decentralized clinical trials) and clinical care. We developed Atlas after interviewing over 300 stakeholders in the software-enabled clinical trials ecosystem.

Please join me in welcoming Christine to the team.
