View full profile

My name is Melissa Cortes Toomer. For the past 20 years, I have lived in Martinez, Georgia, and I currently work at the Augusta University Institutional Review Board (IRB) Office, where I have been for 10 years. My responsibilities involve analyzing human subject research submissions to ensure they comply with applicable regulations, managing departmental billing, and organizing institutional and national conferences.I’m a proud member of the IRB Community Engagement & Outreach Unit, where I participate in community outreach efforts to engage our local community (and communities throughout the CSRA area) in meaningful conversations regarding human subject research at Augusta University and establish a collaborative relationship with the citizens we serve. Outside of work, I am a dedicated wife, mother, and grandmother, who enjoys spending time with family and reading and sewing.
