Global Project Manager on development programs in Hematology/Nephrology Therapeutic Area; strategic partner to the GPTL and Function Leads to ‘pressure-test’ project assumptions, drive scenario planning, integrated cross functional planning across development into the overall project planWorking closely with GPTL and Function Leads to drive development of the global project level goals that contribute to the overall objectives for the R&D portfolio; working closely with the GPTL to facilitate the elaboration, approval, and execution of the global program strategyCoordinating and driving development process planning activities of the GPT including milestone stetting, strategic integrated development plans, and budget management (forecasting, LRP, and AOP)Preparing and managing governance interactions in partnership with the GPTL and ensures timely input of program status, risks, and issues into the reporting system for high quality portfolio reporting

Worked closely with GPTL to drive development of the global project level goals that contribute to the overall objectives for the R&D portfolio and managed the project to achieve key milestones according to the endorsed plan and time, cost and quality parametersAligned project messages with GPTL and Function Leads to ensure effective, accurate, and timely communication (internal and external) of project information to facilitate development of action options and team recommendations to governanceCoordinated and drove development process planning activities of the GPT and the CST; partnered with R&D Financial, GPTL and Function Leads to manage project budgets including quarterly forecasting, Long Range Plan, and AOP

Developed the project plan based on project strategy and specificities; analyzed the project timelines to ensure optimal critical path; collaborated with planners, project leaders, and operational managers from platforms and enabling functions to ensure alignment of the project plan with priorities, decision of the funding, and the operational plans; monitored project progress, performed variance analysis, and provided consolidated report to stakeholders; developed scenario analysis and recommended optimization options; ensured consistency and high quality data in timeline, resource and cost planning to support portfolio management

Planned, designed, and executed in vitro and in vivo research activities to develop therapeutic vaccines and monoclonal antibodies against pathogen-induced diseases in a fast paced team environmentWorked with cross-functional groups and external collaborators to achieve project milestones; coordinated group research activities

Planned, designed and executed research activities per project plan of using a surrogate host model system to study virulence factors of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and to identify in vivo essential antibacterial targetsWorked with the in vivo pharmacology group to evaluate antibacterial targets in sepsis, acute and chronic lung infection models in mice and rats Worked with project leader to identify key external collaborators and executed productive collaborationsWorked with team members to dissect resistant mechanisms of novel antibacterial agents

Planed, designed and executed research activities to achieve project objective of understanding the role of a putative ABC transporter in exporting E. coli lipopolysaccharides from the inner membrane to the outer membrane by screening temperature sensitive mutantsWorked with external collaborators to study the mutant membrane ultrastructure by transmitting electron microscopyContributed to the team effort in examining potential binding partners of the lipid A flippase MsbA
