• Conduct research on identifying key clinical targets for study in rare genetic cardiovascular disease.• Independently/collaboratively author and co-author manuscripts for scientific meetings and publication. • Responsible for launch/day-to-day management of research initiatives, including managing project meetings, logistics, timelines, and associated grants and budgets.• Provide scientific expertise in development and writing of clinical protocols/development plans, organizing and leading meetings with internal/external experts to obtain guidance on study design.• Support the Medical Monitor/Clinical Development Team in design and execution of clinical programs to ensure the effective conduct of clinical studies.• Design/draft/review/publish clinical and scientific reports, including clinical protocols, response to audit reports/corrective action plans, final study reports.

As a senior scientist, I have continued to provide engineering support for the development and testing of a blood coagulation device that provides diagnostic and clinically relevant information about blood coagulopathies. My responsibilities include design and completion of research and clinical experiments, management of other research staff, invention and development of blood coagulation assays, reagent formulation and preparation, support in FDA regulatory approval process, review of intellectual property, product testing as well as grant writing and submission. My most recent focus has been in the areas of assay development (reagent selection and testing, vendor selection, etc) and systems integration to ensure that the device can reliable detect coagulopathies in patient blood samples.
