Scientist
South San Francisco, California, Us
I led a project team to identify new tumor antigens for antibody-based therapeutics, particularly the development of antibody-drug conjugates as cancer drugs. The research in my lab spanned the pre-clinical spectrum, from target discovery through in vivo efficacy, using recombinant DNA, protein biochemical, and cell biological methods. Additionally, I collaborated with Genentech's Antibody Engineering, Bioinformatics, Pathology, Translational Oncology, Safety Assessment, Pharmacokinetics, Clinical Science, and Commercial groups. During my eight years at Genentech, my lab made key contributions to our understanding of the parameters governing antibody-drug conjugate activity and safety and our assessment of tumor antigen targets.
