Lauren Corulli
Lab Manager, Cancer Vaccine Institute
University of Washington
Lauren Corulli has worked under Dr. Disis at the Cancer Vaccine Institute for over 8 years. She received her BS in Biology/Physiology from the University of Washington, and received her graduate certificate in Project Management from City University. Lauren works closely with both the preclinical and clinical cores at the CVI. She develops financial and scope controls for projects using Earned Value Measurements and Gantt Charts to create time-phased budgets. This approach to financial management allows researchers at the CVI to identify problems with overspending or underspending early on, and take corrective actions as needed to get things back on track. The information gained from this approach has helped the group improve budget estimates for new proposals over time.
