David Dalgarno Email & Phone Number

I am a seasoned drug hunter, science strategist and a company co-founder with expertise in small molecule drug discovery and associated processes; scientific leadership, start-up, operations, and cross-team alignment and interaction; technology acquisition and integration. With many years of experience in the industrial application of structure-guided drug design and biophysics, I have a sustained track record of successful leadership in oncology drug discovery, making significant contributions to the discovery and development of five oncology compounds that have entered clinical trials. I have co-authorship of 60+ publications and co-inventorship on 15+ patents and applications.Areas of interest:Crafting Scientific Strategyo With ongoing focus on both enabling and novel experimental and computational technologies driving current drug discovery, I craft scientific and technology strategies appropriate to specific molecular targets, timelines and budgetary constraints.Facilitating Digital Transformation o I am an advocate for digital transformation in drug discovery. I champion systematic data capture and transparent data access, optimizing workflows and laboratory operations, empowering end-users, and enabling data utilization to promote the production of new drug candidates. Enabling High Performing Teamso I facilitate inter-disciplinary scientific knowledge and expertise transfer and mentor early career scientists to promote rewarding and expansive career options. Promoting Reliable Processeso With accumulated cross-disciplinary small molecule drug discovery experience, and specific focus on the structural and mechanistic basis of drug resistance in precision oncology therapies, structure-guided design, and optimization of mutant kinase inhibitors, I promote reliable progress through observation and intervention, and the establishment of robust processes.

Listed skills include Laboratory Design, Data Integration, Data Analysis, Information Technology, and 9 others.
