Identify emerging trends in the marketplace that represents growth opportunities for the neuroscience portfolio. Providing scientific leadership to product development, QC and marketing teams. Initiate and maintain internal and external collaborations. Responsible for supporting multiple aspects of a robust antibody product development program focused on supporting research in the areas of neuroscience and neurodegenerative disease, including characterization and validation of antibody products in multiple applications (e.g. western blot and ELISA) in preparation for commercial launch of the products and generating new product ideas for future expansion of the portfolio.

Development of ELISA for identification and quantification of apolipoproteins – in support of research to further characterize the associations between coronary heart disease and plasma apolipoproteins.

Increased areas of responsibility, starting as a Scientist II and promoted to Senior Scientist, leading a team in an immunoassay based discovery project for the selection of novel T cell antigens for infectious disease programs, resulting in the identification of antigens responsible for the in vivo stimulation of protective human CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in human subjects and mouse.
