Founder, President And CeoGanymede Oncology, Inc. Aug 2023 - PresentGanymede Oncology is a precision medicine company revolutionizing cancer treatment through targeted modulation of the Nrf2 pathway. This pathway, a key regulator of cellular defense against oxidative stress and toxins, plays a dual role. While Nrf2 activation protects normal cells, it can also be exploited by cancer cells to promote growth and resist therapies. Mutations, overexpression, or misregulation of Nrf2 or its negative regulators—Keap1 and CUL3—are prevalent in many cancers, including up to 25% of non-small cell lung cancers, 20% of head and neck cancers, and 10% of liver cancers.Ganymede’s innovative approach focuses on precision therapies that selectively target Nrf2. Our strategy includes developing compounds that either directly target Nrf2 or indirectly inhibit its upstream mediators. By leveraging advanced technologies like structure-based drug design, genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics, we aim to identify targeted therapeutics and biomarkers for personalized patient care. With a team of leading scientists, drug developers, and advisors, Ganymede Oncology is at the forefront of transforming cancer treatment. Our commitment to innovation and personalized care drives us to offer hope and better outcomes to patients worldwide. -
Acting Chief Executive OfficerAzkarra Therapeutics Sep 2023 - Dec 2024Azkarra Therapeutics (www.azkarrabio.com) is an emerging precision therapeutics company, focused on the development of next generation DNA Damage Response (DDR)-modulating oral small molecule therapeutics for cancer and inflammatory diseases. The company was founded by Alan Ashworth, PhD, a world-renowned key opinion leader in translational science of cancer genetics. One of Dr. Ashworth’s key scientific contributions has been the discovery of BRCA2 and the elucidation of the synthetic lethal relationship between BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations and Poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibition. These discoveries paved the way for a new cancer treatment paradigm in multiple solid tumors and ushered in a multi-billion-dollar PARP inhibitor market. At Azkarra Therapeutics we aim to exploit molecular targets at the intersection of DDR and immune response and develop novel therapeutics for cancer and inflammatory diseases. We have identified a portfolio of promising next generation DDR-therapeutics, encompassing a well-differentiated, best-in-class multi-PARP inhibitor for DDR dependent cancers, a first-in-class OGG-1 inhibitor for inflammatory diseases/fibrosis and cancer as well as a best-in-class PARG inhibitor for cancer. As acting CEO, I oversaw the operations and advancement of the entire R&D portfolio and led all fund raising as well as business development activities. -
