Lead and develop the Translational Research program by providing scientific expertise to manage research collaborations and identify new opportunities with global sales and marketing teams. Manage a team of technical experts and marketing managers to define and develop end-to-end workflows that deliver improved research solutions and drive market growth while enabling customers to accelerate their science in plasma, tissue proteomics and large cohort studies.

Managed and led a team of 5+ technical application specialists and Ph.D level scientists as they developed and promoted applications for the clinical research and toxicology vertical markets. Supported high level strategic collaborations for market penetration and promotion of Thermo mass spectrometry solutions. Application areas for advancement ranged from biomarker discovery, therapeutic drug monitoring, monoclonal antibody therapy, peptide quan, etc. Technology integration of the many Thermo QQQ and Hybrid based orbitrap mass spectrometers were routinely applied for better market adoption in the field of clinical metabolomics, proteomics, clinical research, toxicology, and antidoping.

Developed new LC-MS/MS applications to strategically grow the clinical research and toxicology market. Engaged in collaborations with key customers and opinion leaders for generation of valuable content used for promotion.

Supported sales by developing and fully optimizing LC-MS/MS methods on the full Thermo HRAM orbitrap portfolio (tribrids, hybrids) for detection of small molecules and oligonucleotides. Exemplary data was rapidly collected over a short 1-2 week timeline and was presented to customers for their review. Engaged with customers routinely in a customer facing role to determine value propositions, project goals, and to strategically present the instrument to the customer for their purchase.

Led in the development of LC-MS/MS discovery and targeted workflows. Specialized in method development, instrument optimization, and workflow management. High level expert in untargeted data acquisition and analysis, MS2 library building, minimizing true/false positives and negatives, and teaching and assisting other scientists for improved success in metabolomics.
