COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY FROM DISCOVERY TO THE CLINIC
Leveraged large amounts of Genomic and Genetic Data to enable Drug Discovery and Development Programs. Data analyses were essential for getting four now-approved drugs from Early Discovery to the Clinic. Gained deep knowledge of Biotech and Pharma Pipeline at all phases, on both Small Molecules and Biologics. Skills:
• Genomics/Genetics •Data Science • Cross-functional teams
• Metabolic Pathways • High-Dimensional Data • Data Mining & Visualization
• Gene Expression Data • Microbial Genomics • Immunology
• Bioinformatics databases • Inventor on US Patent • Neuroscience
• Reporting and collaboration • Genetic Associations • Regulatory Requirements
AWARD-WINNING ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Analysis of Preclinical and Clinical Resistance Mutation Data was essential for progressing multiple HIV and Hepatitis C Virus drugs from Early Discovery to Clinical Trials and in four cases Regulatory Approval. Several other drugs in Clinical Trials.
Built and maintained pipelines for mining of Bacterial and Fungal Genomes.
Inventor on US Patent for Novel Microbial Drug Targets
Identified the first known essential methyltransferase gene in bacteria
Spearheaded the first Next-Generation Sequencing Pilot Study at BMS: selected potential vendors, organized presentations, obtained buy-in from stakeholders across the organization, helped design the study, built analysis pipeline from scratch, and delivered comprehensive reports on the results and their strategic implications.
Given BMS Presidential Award of $1000 for Genomic Dossiers which enabled stakeholders in multiple departments to make better decisions about Target Genes.
Given internal BMS award for rapidly and accurately organizing analysis of data from Phase 1 and Phase 2a clinical trials of an HIV compound, thus “accelerating Phase 2B start” and speeding progress through Human Clinical Trials
Given internal BMS award for helping the “team turn a potentially difficult situation into a successful outcome” by delivering a rapid response for multiple stakeholders to an FDA post-market data request on the HIV drug Efavirenz. “This work involved late nights and weekends as well as tight collaboration across functional areas.”
Note: words in quotation marks above are verbatim quotes by colleagues who made nominations for the BMS internal awards.
EXPERIENCE
Regeneron Genetics Center, Tarrytown, NY 2016 – 2017
Senior Manager Genomic Targeting Information, Translational Genetics
Integrated internal and external Omics and Genetics data for strategic intelligence around proposed targets identified in Human Genetics data mining.
Bristol-Myers Squibb, Wallingford, CT 1998 – 2015
Senior Research Investigator, Translational Bioinformatics 2006-2015
Research Investigator, Translational Bioinformatics 1998-2006
Spearheaded Bioinformatics support of Infectious Diseases Drug Discovery and Development at Bristol-Myers Squibb. Made critical contributions to every antiviral drug BMS brought to market during this period, at every stage of the pipeline from Early Discovery to Clinical Development, and even post-market studies of approved drugs. Many analyses were needed by stakeholders in Exploratory Working Groups, Discovery Working Groups, and Biomarker Working Groups in Microbiology, Immuno-Oncology, Virology, and Neuroscience Drug Discovery and Development to make major decisions.
Maintained large-scale databases and analysis pipelines for Microbial Genomics project which identified a number of novel targets for antibacterial and antifungal drug discovery. Inventor on US Patent for Novel Antifungal Drug Targets
Helped Lead Discovery identify cell lines expressing proteins of interest
