About Shawn Ritchie

I am the CEO and Chief Scientific Officer at Med-Life Discoveries (MLD), and Chief Operating Officer at GraySpace Therapeutics. We are developing new approaches for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and an orphan disease called Rhizomelic Chondrodysplasia Punctata (RCDP). I have over 17 years of commercial metabolomics biomarker discovery experience using high resolution mass spectrometry to investigate the metabolic underpinnings of chronic diseases. My focus at MLD now is the clinical development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic products based on metabolic deficiencies associated with major chronic diseases, and an ultra-rare pediatric orphan disease. Areas of expertise include mass spectrometry, biomarker discovery, lipidomics, informatics, drug development, assay development and validation, laboratory and executive management, product commercialization, IVDD regulations, orphan drug development, biostatistics, project management, clinical trial design, and medical writing and technical communications.
