Overall, I ensured that Kisbee’s CMC and Product Development activities proceeded efficiently and in alignment with the company's scientific objectives. Specific tasks included:- Working across the R&D team to establish and lead the process by which development candidates were evaluated- Directing activities at CROs and CDMOs regarding protein production.

I built and led the team (4 additional scientists) responsible for advancing Kisbee's engineered lipoprotein platform. Our group focused on the design, synthesis, and preliminary assessment of the molecules that constitute Kisbee's novel approach to treating neurodegenerative diseases. In doing so, we worked closely with Kisbee's Discovery Biology, Tech.

I was responsible for generating lipoproteins with improved PK/PD properties and supplying material for biological studies. To do so, I hired three additional scientists to build a team that worked on developing and executing biophysical assays, optimizing formulation conditions, and scaling up lipoprotein production. In concert, as the primary drug.

As Kisbee's fourth employee, I helped build the company's lab-based infrastructure and capabilities. I established the foundational methods for synthesizing lipoprotein particles from custom-designed apolipoprotein and phospholipid building blocks, generating the company's first sets of particles for characterization and testing. To do so required.

I expanded the capabilities and workflows of the Medicinal Chemistry department using automation and high-throughput experimentation. My efforts in reaction optimization, library synthesis, and analog generation supported several programs across the Vertex pipeline.

I validated hits from the DNA-encoded library screens that I performed in graduate school using a variety of biochemical and biophysical assays. I also wrote reviews on diversity-oriented synthesis and on bifunctional, proximity-inducing small molecules.Advised by Prof. Stuart L. Schreiber.

Basel, Baselstadt, CH

During graduate school, I collaborated closely with the Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research (NIBR) to help establish DNA-encoded library capabilities at their Cambridge, MA site.

Cambridge, Massachusetts, US

I incorporated the principles of diversity-oriented synthesis into the design and production of DNA-encoded libraries (DELs) of small molecules. I developed new DEL-suitable reaction methodologies, synthesized the Schreiber lab's first DEL (DOS-DEL-1), performed affinity-based DEL screening experiments with a variety of proteins, and wrote code to analyze.
