About
I hold a Ph.D. in Cell and Molecular Biology from the Georgia Institute of Technology, with a career spanning over 19 years, divided between four years in academia and more than fifteen years in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry.
Academic Background: My academic training including three years as a postdoctoral fellow and one year as an instructor developed a strong foundation in cancer biology, immunology, and cell and molecular biology. During this time, I obtained a comprehensive set of biotechnology skills, encompassing both in vitro approaches (such as cell-based assays) and in vivo model development, including cell line derived xenografts (CDX), patient-derived xenografts (PDX), and gene knockout animal models.
Industry Experience: With over 15 years in the biopharmaceutical industry, I bring extensive expertise across all stages of drug discovery and development for biologics, immunotherapies, gene therapies, and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). For the past 12 years, my focus has been Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC), where I have led cross-functional efforts—including upstream process development (cell line development and cell bank establishment), downstream process development (ADC conjugation), analytical method development and validation, formulation process development, regulatory compliance with quality control system establishment, and document preparation for IND filings and BLA approvals—to advance novel therapeutics from early development through clinical and commercial stages.
