• Preclinical target discovery and development for hematological malignancies (ALL, AML, CTCL, MPN, CHIP, CCUS) and certain solid tumors (breast cancer, lung cancer)• Bispecific antibodies, antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), cellular therapies (CAR-T, TCR), therapeutic vaccines• Model development

Tarrytown, Ny

• Research focus on oncogenic signaling pathways in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia• Experience with patient derived xenogratfs (PDX), CRISPR, NGS, cell line engineering, immunology, immunotherapy, antibody-based therapeutics, cellular therapeutics (CAR-T, TCR)

• Research investigates the biology of aging using mouse, tissue culture and in vitro research models.• My research has led to the publication of eleven high-impact scientific articles and has underpinned two successful grant applications, worth over $6MM from the National Institutes of Health.• Have identified a novel tumor suppressor gene, SIRT6, which connects the aging process to cancer development. My research has illuminated the mechanisms by which SIRT6 guards against cancer and promotes longevity. I am developing methods for pharmacologically activating SIRT6.• Experienced with tissue culture, drug discovery, target validation, transgenic animal models, hydrogels, hyaluronic acid and extracellular matrix biology, FACS, ChIP-seq, metabolomics and stem cell technologies.

• Provide strategic scientific consulting services for clients seeking to pursue science-based business opportunities or trying to obtain funding for scientific research from the National Institutes of Health.• Partnered with GlaxoSmithKline to develop novel applications and new testing procedures for a recently developed medical device related to the company’s Bioelectronics program.• Worked with Genetic Alliance to determine how best to allocate research funds directed toward understanding the etiology of the genetic disorder, pseudoxanthoma elasticum, and developing therapies to alleviate symptoms of the disease.• Partnered with Calorics Pharmaceuticals to design and execute a screen for small molecules that selectively enhanced the selectivity of breast cancer and fibrosarcoma cell lines to doxorubicin.• Have helped dozens of university researchers successfully obtain research funds from the NIH and publish their research in high impact scientific journals. • Experienced with project management and resource allocation. Familiar with SQL database development

Conducted research related to lipid and fat metabolism. Also performed laboratory maintenance and helped design pilot experiments for undergraduate laboratory courses.
