Venture Leader, Presbyopia/Cataracts, Disease Interception AcceleratorThe Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies Of Johnson & Johnson Mar 2015 - Feb 2018Raritan, New Jersey, UsVenture Leader for the Presbyopia/Cataracts Venture of the Disease Interception Accelerator (DIA). Led the team’s efforts in establishing methods to intercept the disease pathways of presbyopia and cataracts with the goal of improving visual acuity and ultimately eliminating the number one cause of blindness in the world today, cataracts. Such an endeavor entails the integration of global strategic partnerships, including professors, ophthalmologists, medical schools, universities, contract research organizations, and independent contractors. Working to identify and realize unique synergies via these partnerships to bring medical solutions to our customers: patients, doctors and nurses. -
Senior Principal ScientistJohnson & Johnson Aug 2009 - Mar 2015New Brunswick, Nj, UsCo-author of the review article "Oxidative photodegradation of ocular tissues: beneficial effects of filtering and exogenous antioxidants" published in the journal Experimental Eye Research in 2014.-Literature Reviews in vision science, immunology, and biochemistry-Intellectual Property Assessment-Established in vitro/ in vivo relationships in vision science-Identified and managed technology partnerships-Standard of Leadership Award RecipientSpecific areas of research included the biocompatibility of hydrogels with ocular tissue, the interaction of solar radiation with ocular tissue, and the permeability of hydrogels. -
Manager, Applied Optical ProductsJohnson & Johnson Aug 2004 - Aug 2009New Brunswick, Nj, UsLed a team that delivered novel 3D measurement systems to measure tooling, plastics, and finally finished contact lenses. These instruments were based on interferometry. The team developed transfer functions to identify and control critical process variables (the "red x's") upstream that ensured reliable, reproducible contacts lenses for our patients.Led a team of process engineers accountable for R&D transfer of new products to manufacturing. The most successful of these was transfer of Acuvue Oasys to next generation high throughput manufacturing lines. We also developed critical supplier measurement systems and specifications for the raw material that transforms Acuvue to Acuvue "MOIST".
