I am a life science executive with a passion for introducing new technologies with potential to transform human health. I've spent my career in diagnostics, working on both IVDs and LDTs. I joined the founding team at Truvian in late 2015 to work on development of a disruptive benchtop blood testing solution for the point of care. At Truvian, we are working to reimagine blood testing - making it more convenient, affordable, and actionable for patients. As Chief Operating Officer, I oversee portfolio management, business operations, manufacturing, technical operations, assay development, clinical development, scientific affairs, and talent & HR.Prior to Truvian, I co-founded Epic Sciences, a liquid biopsy company. During my tenure as Epic’s Chief Scientific Officer, I established and ran the Pharma Parntering business, assay development, and laboratory operations (CLIA lab). Our work resulted in the launch of a prostate cancer test which was commercialized by Genomic Health (Exact) in 2015. In addition to my role at Truvian, I serve as a board member on the Executive Committee for Connect.org as well as an advisor for various biotech start-ups.
