Brian Schmidt is a Executive Director, Clinical Pharmacology at Madrigal Pharmaceuticals at Madrigal Pharmaceuticals. He possess expertise in systems biology, biotechnology, assay development, biomedical engineering, cell culture and 13 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Brian was a key engineer on a multi-month project, for a difficult client, using the Entelos CV PhysioLab which I designed. I have been working in the cardiovascular disease area for literally dozens of years and Brian is easily one of the most enthusiastic, dedicated and intellectually curious 'non-biologists' I have worked with. Not only was Brian asking very acute and apposite questions 24 hours a day (almost literally) he was always a responsive and excellent communicator in regards to his results and findings during the project. Brian is unwaveringly calm and resilient in the face of looming deadlines and changes in schedule. The team had occasion to use his skills to literally "blind the client with science" a couple of times, which I found particularly enjoyable to watch. I appreciated not only Brian's technical skills but also his wry sense of humor and the fact that he willingly undertook every task no matter how small/large trivial or complex. I would dearly welcome the opportunity to work with Brian again.", "I was part of the team that hired Brian at Entelos Inc and I trained and worked with him on a client research project over a period of 4 months upon his joining the company. I was impressed by the speed at which Brian learned a very complex computational disease model, and his ability to assume the engineering/technical leadership on a client research project so soon after completing his PhD and joining the company. He is extremely dedicated, investing whatever effort is needed to achieve project goals, and is both bright and innovative in his approaches to problem-solving. He takes the initiative to learn new areas related to his work (e.g., independently studying immunology and rheumatology texts and literature for the project we worked on together). In addition to his excellent performance, I would also say Brian is one of the most pleasant, courteous and universally liked individuals I have had the pleasure to interact with.", and "Brians worked in my lab for only a few months, but he performed exceptionally well and he was very productive for the time he was there. Brian is a meticulous and highly inquisitive scientist."
