I’ve spent more than 30 years developing assays, watching them work, and seeing programs progress because of my research. As a researcher with experience in mammalian cell lines, primary cell lines, melanophore work, and radiolabeled/nonlabeled peptides, I bring deep experience and expertise in bioassay development, experimentation, and application. For me, the greatest rewards come when a target shows promise as a medication for people.EXPERIMENTAL PROCESSThough I started out with an interest in veterinary medicine, I quickly found that my true passion is for the experimental process. I enjoy the process of setting up an experiment, incubating it, testing the results, and seeing what occurred. RESEARCH COLLABORATIONAs someone who enjoys learning, learns quickly, and welcomes new ways of thinking, I believe cross-disciplinary collaboration prevents tunnel vision and promotes a broad spectrum of ideas at all times. DRUG DISCOVERY It’s a rush to work on a program team, surrounded by colleagues who are all interested in the same target—other assayists, people in DMPK, chemists, and others. When great minds come together, we can bounce ideas off each other and more effectively move our research forward.
