Diana Potts, MPA, manages the CEDAR clinical trials operation in the building, testing and validation of early forms of cancer detection, primarily blood-based tests.  Prior to working at CEDAR, Diana worked with the OHSU Parkinson Center, where she served as Program Manager for 20 years with responsibilities including operational and overall support for missions in clinical trial research, comprehensive clinical care, and education to professionals and patients. As CEDAR’s Clinical Research Manager, she is enthusiastic to undertake the role of developing and managing the clinical trials group and portfolio of studies while embodying the Knight Cancer Institute guiding principles. For Diana, this is an exciting return to the field of cancer research, as one of her first jobs at OHSU was with the cancer institute over 25 years ago. As a Portland native, Diana enjoys the great outdoors we have to offer here, particularly hiking and backpacking. She also enjoys exploring new wine regions, and undertaking house repair and remodel projects that end up requiring many YouTube video references and calls to handy friends.
