I have successfully developed instrumentation which incorporates functions from many different industries to meet customer requirements. Detection expertise includes tissue based staining, immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization, molecular testing of PCR product with single nucleotide polymorphism detecting probes, immunoassay all with the goal of higher value diagnostic information for an individual patient. Leadership experience spans from having been the sole contributor responsible and accountable for the results of smaller projects to the leader of teams numbering near 30 and was recently one of three internal candidates considered for the position of project leader for a new platform. First hand, I have seen the flexibility and nimbleness of small startups as well as the best practices of major multinational biotechnology powerhouses and know the benefits of each. I believe that a strong process utilizing proven methods and working with the correct requirements will enable a resourced team to solve any problem and with the appropriate guidance, creative solutions from the team will have the opportunity to become the ideal final result.Specialties: Leading diverse teams responsible for root cause investigations of in obvious defects then developing creative solutions, testing the robustness of the solutions and driving them through V&V.
