Experience
Branwen has held numerous senior communications and PR roles that bridge academic organisations, publicly listed companies and NGOs.
In her four years as a consultant to AstraZeneca Australia, she was responsible for leading the implementation of a new social intranet based on a global platform, initiatives to improve internal communications through the use of digital technology and communications for a number of internal restructure projects. During this time, Branwen also rolled out new corporate branding, worked as a medical writer for the respiratory, oncology, and anti-infectives divisions, and planned and prepared conference material for the company directors.
Her STEMM network, biomedical knowledge and digital understanding has led to her advising a startup business that is part of PWC’s 21st Century Minds (21CM) programme and being employed as a research translation and innovation consultant to global science publishing house Springer Nature, for whom she has been writing since 2009.
As communications manager at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, Branwen delivered brand consistency across scientific and marketing materials, launched a new website and internal communication channel, produced several annual reports and attracted international media coverage of the institute’s research. Prior to that, she spent several years in London where she worked at the UK’s Science Media Centre; as a conference organiser for the Centre for Defence Studies at King’s College London; and as Head of Communications for the Coalition for Medical Progress (now amalgamated with RDS and rebranded as Understanding Animal Research (UAR)).
Branwen’s articles have appeared in: Nature and Nature Medicine, ABC News in Science, Cosmos, Sydney Morning Herald, BBC News online, Australian Doctor, Australian Medicine, Trends in Neurosciences, New Scientist, Today’s Life Sciences, Australasian Science, Lab News, BioMedNet, The Scientist, and Newton.
