Sean McCarthy
I have lived in Watlington since 2004. My two children attended the local pre-school, Watlington Primary school. One attended Icknield Community College, and one is currently there.
I have been actively involved since 2012 in the fundraising efforts of the Friends of Icknield. Having witnessed the excellent education my children are receiving at the ICC, I am delighted to have the opportunity, as a parent governor, to support the school in its continued development.
I hold a degree and doctorate in Life Sciences, and have worked for more than 24 years as a Clinical Research Scientist involved in the successful development of new drugs for the treatment of cancers and rare metabolic disorders. My experience ranges from biotechnology start-ups to major pharmaceutical companies, and for the last 4 years I have run my own consultancy business.
