What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and strategy in technology-enabled oncology programs.

I am a scientific leader with a PhD in Nutrition Biochemistry and an MPH in Public Health Leadership, specializing in oncology bioinformatics and AI/ML applications. My expertise lies in designing and implementing high-impact data science strategies for precision medicine, particularly in the realm of clinical biomarker innovation. At AbbVie, I have directed biomarker innovation for key clinical assets and led cross-functional initiatives to advance methylation-based diagnostics.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a proven ability to manage external collaborations and guide translational research from early discovery through clinical development. My work includes creating an LBx Methylation Atlas that integrates multi-omic tumor data with blood-based methylation to predict target expression. I am passionate about mentoring junior scientists and presenting strategic insights to leadership and external partners, ensuring that our research aligns with the latest advancements in oncology.
