Experienced life-sciences consultant and immunology/oncology subject matter expert helping clients to tailor studies and data analysis to achieve research goals. My background is in helping to drive translational studies to best answer research and clinical questions. To this end, I am passionate about integrating well-conducted research with clinical processes with the goal of advancing new treatments into the clinic and helping patients. My experience covers many aspects of immuno-oncology, especially dealing how humoral and cellular immune function can be modulated through small molecule or antibody therapeutics. I am experienced in collaborations between clinical and research groups, and have worked closely with clinicians in transplant (organ and marrow), pathology, dermatology, oncology, allergy, and other specialties throughout my career. This has allowed me to learn how insights can be generated through integrating their experiences in the clinic and my own research and translational background. My foci in this regard are humoral/cellular immune mechanisms, the use of immunotherapy for cancer, the immune system as a homeostatic mechanism (autoimmunity vs. surveillance), and wound healing/dermatology. I earned my PhD from the University of Kentucky in 2020. My graduate work focused on the immunopathogenesis of graft-versus-host disease after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. My postdoc studied the mechanism by which humoral immunity is generated after vaccination or infection.
