Queennie Kahulugan, CCRC
Site Liaison
Queennie Kahulugan was educated in the Philippines, where she completed a BS in Psychology with an emphasis in Human Services from Assumption College then went on to medical school, graduating from the University of Perpetual Help. Queennie worked as a medical assistant to a family practice doctor and then as a clinical research coordinator in both small and large practices. She has been a certified clinical research coordinator since 2014. In her most recent CRC role, she was the only one in the “research department” doing patient care, EDC entry, budget, recruitment “like a one-woman-band” as Queennie says! Queennie Kahulugan joined the UC Davis Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC) as its new Clinical Research Supervisor/Site Operations Manager. Queennie sees herself “rebooting” the site by overseeing the daily operations, increasing recruitment numbers, strengthening teamwork, and being an inspiration to each team member to come to work and be their best self.
