Results-oriented Research Biologist/Pharmacologist with extensive experience in Oncology and Neuroscience drug discovery. Team/Project Leader of multiple programs including full-phase, early discovery and target identification/validation. Research focus is development and use of complex cellular models to identify or validate targets and elucidate pharmacology/mechanism-of-action across multiple target classes. Interested in opportunities where my scientific experience, strong project/people management skills and passion for science can be leveraged in providing solutions to achieve organization goals. KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS• Progressed GSK3 inhibitor program from Early through Full-phase Discovery by development of innovative strategy and novel assays as Biology Program Chair.• Advanced γ-secretase inhibitor to clinical trials through development and implementation of cell models critical to understanding compound pharmacology.• Delivered four targets into Early Discovery programs and facilitated data-driven termination of additional targets as strategy leader/coordinator of multiple target validation teams. • Facilitated progression of multiple programs through Discovery decision points by establishment of primary neuronal platform at BMS and development of novel assays in primary neuronal and mixed cultures.
