I am an experienced protein engineer and structural biologist specializing in discovery and optimization of therapeutic candidates isolated from an in vitro platform. I am currently a Senior Scientist II at Adimab, LLC. in Lebanon, NH. Prior to returning to Adimab, I was a PhD student in the laboratory of Dr. Jason S. McLellan at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, the focus of my thesis research was on small-molecule and antibody-mediated inhibition of the Respiratory Syncytial Virus and Human Metapneumovirus fusion glycoproteins through biochemical characterization and crystallographic studies. Prior to returning to Dartmouth to obtain my Ph.D. I spent ~10 years in the Biotech industry working for GlycoFi (RA, 2004-2005), Merrimack Pharmaceuticals (RAII, 2006-2008), and Adimab LLC (Scientist I, 2008-2013). During this time, my focus was on protein engineering; specifically, antibody discovery and optimization of therapeutic candidates.
