Immunobiochem Corporation is a biotechnology company committed to addressing unmet medical need in oncology through research and development of novel, targeted biological therapeutics. ImmunoBiochem is headquartered in Ontario, Canada, and draws on the vast expertise of cancer researchers and clinicians located in the biomedical hub of downtown Toronto.ImmunoBiochem has pioneered a proprietary technology to address the challenge of cancer heterogeneity in solid tumors with its tumor microenvironment-targeted antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). ADCs comprise a novel class of potentiated biological therapeutics, combining the targeting capabilities of monoclonal antibodies with the cytotoxic properties of small molecule cancer drugs to selectively and specifically destroy cancer cells while minimizing damage to normal tissues. ADCs comprise an antibody component linked to a cytotoxic molecule via a stable linker that is uniquely engineered to deliver and release the cytotoxic payload in cancer cells.

Grey Wolf Animal Health was founded with a singular purpose to improve the health of companion animals across Canada through listening to the needs of vets and their clients.

I am assisting 10+ early-stage life sciences companies, in diverse areas (e.g., animal health, biotechnology, breast cancer, dementia, dermatology, digital health). I work with and help the teams develop business development, marketing, and fundraising strategies. Additionally, I conduct scientific and business due diligence and develop presentations for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies of all sizes.

Proteorex Therapeutics' mission is to discover novel therapeutics for diseases with the highest unmet need, pushing the boundaries of drug discovery through innovative and world-class science.On the Proteorex team, under the guidance of the COO, I led the operational strategy at an emerging, biotechnology company. I also worked with the team to develop investor presentations, with the goal of driving fundraising efforts through government-backed (e.g., Ontario Bioscience Innovation Organization) and private sources (e.g., IndieBio). I helped develop relationships and collaboration with J&J Innovation and JLABS @ Toronto. Finally, I conducted business and financial due diligence and deal logistics for R&D collaborations, involving Proteorex’s drug discovery platform technology and programs.

I led scientific due diligence, analyzed market trends, assessed competitive threats, and researched investment opportunities on behalf of life sciences for a management consulting firm, specialized in healthcare. I assisted in the development of financial models and valuations, and I developed investor presentations for clients. In addition to these roles, I continued to reach out to (i.e., network), and assisted in building up the clientele list. I also provided strategic guidance to the firm's global clientele and helped clients achieve their business goals. Willow Tree Capital Group is now Shadow Lake Group.

I analyzed market trends, researched investment opportunities, reached out to (i.e., network) and helped build the life sciences, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology client base for a management consulting firm, specialized in healthcare. In addition to these roles, I conducted scientific due diligence, assisted in the development of financial models and valuations, and I developed investor presentations on behalf of clients. I worked with the firm's management team in providing strategic guidance to Willow Tree Capital Group's global clientele and help clients achieve their business goals and increase profits. During this time, I constructed a network of 500+ private and public life sciences companies by developing and nurturing business relationships with several KOLs and C-level executives. I was the first junior employee (i.e., non-management) to spearhead the identification and signing of a life sciences company to a retainer-based mandate. Excitedly, I was critically involved in helping a speciality pharmaceutical client, of the firm, successfully acquire a well-known schizophrenia drug (CAN/US rights; FTC Transaction No. 20151316). I was offered a promotion to Senior Associate a year into my tenure at the firm. Willow Tree Capital Group is now Shadow Lake Group

I investigated the Cystic Fibrosis and Heart failure diseases for my PhD thesis – (1) the regulation of ion channel function and brain blood flow; (2) the re-purposing of small-molecule Cystic Fibrosis therapeutics. My work looked at the efficacy of novel drugs both in-vitro and in-vivo. This has now been scaled up to a human model trial testing phase. I performed experiments, developed bio-analytical methods, reviewed data via statistical tools, authored and orally presented scientific reports at internal meetings, authored research findings in peer-reviewed journals, and authored proposals to funding agencies. I conducted research at the Hospital for Sick Children (Sick Kids), Toronto General Hospital, and the MaRS Discovery District. NSERC-funded

Led in-class and online tutorials for an undergraduate course in human physiology (U of T course code: PSL 201, Instructor: Dr. Michelle French), with a class enrolment of approximately 150 students. I also designed questions for tests and exams, invigilated tests and exams, and performed administrative duties for the course instructor.

I investigated the rare genetic disease Cystic Fibrosis for my MSc. thesis in a world-renowned and highly-funded Cystic Fibrosis laboratory. Specifically, I investigated protein and ion channel regulation mechanisms. In this position, I developed two novel fluorescence techniques to detect protein expression and mobility in-vitro. Using these techniques, I discovered that therapeutic drugs in human clinical trials for the Cystic Fibrosis disease normalize the mobility of the most common disease-causing mutant. NSERC-funded.

I was the lead investigator on a large-scale human health study, involving the recruitment and collection of hair samples from over 300 volunteers in the Sudbury region (Northern Ontario). I also designed the experimental protocol and questionnaire. An ICP-MS was used to assess the heavy metal content in the hair samples, and the results were correlated to nutrition, environment, and health factors using statistical tests. Some very interesting correlations were found, as shown in the document attached (Supervisor: Dr. Graeme Spiers).
