Charitini is Professor of Health Innovation Research and Co-Director of the Centre for Health and Care Innovation Research (CHIR) at City St George’s, University of London.
Her research focuses on understanding how to effectively translate research and innovation into policy and practice. She has investigated in particular the role that public funding plays in this context. Charitini has gained international academic recognition for her work on ‘pilotitis’, the unnecessary repetition of pilot studies that do not lead to sustainable implementation or widespread adoption of innovations in practice.
She has established successful collaborations with funding bodies both in the UK and internationally and has worked closely with them to evaluate and inform their research policies. In her capacity as co-director of CHIR, she has strengthened interdisciplinary collaborations across City St George’s, while in external leadership roles, she seeks to build bridges between academia and health and care organisations.
