For over 20 years I have worked across all aspects of the biotech and pharma industry in the science as well as business areas, with my experience covering small startups to university labs to large pharma. My broad experience and goal-oriented focus promotes innovative approaches to solving business and transactional challenges in this industry. On the science side, my formal training is in molecular biology and I have focused my work primarily in the areas of immunology and oncology. I have two dozen peer reviewed publications and more than 150 issued patents. My experience means I have in-depth, real life knowledge and understanding of what scientists need to achieve their and their companies' goals.On the business side, for the last ten years I have designed and implemented innovative transactional tools for research and early development, specifically in the areas of laboratory capital equipment, consumables and services. I have negotiated hundreds of agreements in a variety of areas from equipment to collaborative arrangements, with companies throughout the world and across the biotech and pharma industry. Most recently I have negotiated deals which drive technology development and innovation into this industry.
