Former consultant to the pharmaceutical sector across several therapeutic areas including immunoncology, digital health and women's health. Supported commercial strategy for biotech and pharma to enter and grow in target markets. Published researcher in infectious disease and drug resistance.

Hosted by Lindus Health co-CEO Meri Beckwith, Off Protocol is the podcast that challenges the status quo of clinical trials. Each episode opens the door to honest conversations with experts across the industry — sharing real stories, confronting persistent challenges, and exploring what it takes to run trials that truly work for patients.

This episode focuses on an area of women’s health that has long been overlooked: heavy menstrual bleeding. Despite affecting millions of women worldwide, it remains underdiagnosed, undertreated, and under-researched.

Tune in, as guest host Zara Liew sits down with Dr. Michelle Griffin, women’s health expert advisor for Lindus Health, to explore why this evidence gap persists — and what it will take to close it. The conversation delves into what “normal” really means when it comes to menstruation, the challenges of studying menstrual health, and how thoughtful trial design, digital tools, and patient-centred approaches can finally bring this condition the clinical attention it deserves.
