About
Senior Director leading Translational Research and Biomarker Strategy in Precision Oncology and Computational Biology, with 19 years of experience spanning genomics, multi-omics, and AI-enabled drug development. I partner with global pharmaceutical and biotech organizations to translate genomic, transcriptomic, and clinical data into biomarker strategies, patient stratification approaches, and mechanism-of-action insights that support drug development decisions across more than 50 oncology indications. My work integrates NGS and multi-omics data with AI-enabled platforms, including evaluation of foundation model and agentic AI approaches, to support precision medicine decision-making, biomarker discovery, and therapy response prediction. I have built and scaled multidisciplinary scientific organizations, serving as primary scientific representative for pharmaceutical collaborations and translating complex translational findings for executive stakeholders. I've authored 60+ peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations at AACR, ASCO, ASH, ESMO, and SITC, and hold 3 patents in oncology-focused computational methods. My work has spanned NSCLC, AML, MDS, glioblastoma, and other solid and hematologic malignancies, with a consistent focus on bridging scientific discovery and clinical application. I'm always open to conversations on translational research leadership, biomarker strategy, scientific partnerships, and oncology drug development opportunities.
