I currently oversee all aspects of our pre-clinical drug development programs and scientific narrative focusing on small molecule inhibitors for use in oncology. In this capacity I am responsible for the generation and interpretation of a wide variety of data that informs our drug development programs, scientific rationale and feeds directly into our.

San Francisco, California, US

I was responsible for all pre-clinical and translational research on our 2nd generation VCP/p97 inhibitor for use in oncology, this includes planning and designing both in-vitro and in-vivo studies to define efficacy, mechanism of action and combination potential in a broad range of cancer model systems as well as shaping the scientific narrative behind.

Drug discovery scientist working on assay development for characterization of small molecule oncology therapeutic candidates and responsible for overseeing and coordinating day to day research operations including equipment procurement and training / compliance for staff. In this role I am also involved in pre-IND and IND filing for potential new.

San Francisco, California, US

I worked on various assay development projects and interrogated mechanism of action for potential therapeutic targets in the oncology arena. Much of my work was high throughput in 96well or 384well format as screening approaches to quickly address questions of efficacy and mechanism. Daily work involved automation and robotic systems as well as plate based.

Microscopy specialist using live-cell imaging approaches to interrogate biological signaling pathways. I advise several graduate students and post-grads in the proper design of imaging based assays and collection and analysis of imaging data. I have worked closely with lab members on diverse projects from transcriptional responses to inflammation signaling.

La Jolla, CA, US

I was brought on as a Microscopy Specialist and quickly worked to integrate my expertise with existing research projects. Initially I completely overhauled three existing fluorescent live imaging microscopes for proper quantitative data acquisition and trained users on assay design and implementation. This led to data sets that would become part of 9.

La Jolla, CA, US

I conducted research in molecular and cell biology at the Salk Institute where I used a confocal live cell imaging assay to characterize nuclear envelope formation, discovering a novel capacity of protein redundancy and cooperativity in the post-mitotic reformation of the nuclear envelope. I then developed an imaging based assay to characterize a.

In this capacity I served on numerous campus committees on planning and policy, including the Academic Senate, Graduate Council, Educational Policy and Diversity and Equity Committees. I was selected by the Graduate Council and my peers for the Outstanding Leadership Award in.

Carbondale, IL, US

MS research in cellular and molecular physiology. My research centered on tumor suppressor transcription factors implicated in human disease. I worked primarily on protein-DNA interactions and described novel binding modalities of the DEAF-1 protein, implicated in cancer and in neurological disorders. As part of my curriculum I instructed undergraduate.

Irvine, CA, US

In this role I managed a staff of between 40 and 60 direct report employees as advanced subject matter tutors each quarter and was responsible for all aspects of their employment from applicant screening and interviews to onboarding, training and evaluation of performance.
