Kyowa Kirin Inc.
Clinical Data Scientist
Jun 2022 - Present
• Designed and implemented a JMP-based data integration workflow to harmonize fragmented biomarker and pharmacodynamic datasets from 4+ CRO vendors across 5+ global oncology trials, reducing cross-team data interpretation time by 5 hours per week and improving analytical efficiency by 50%.
• Standardized CRO oversight practices across 4+ global vendors, introducing structured deliverable checklists, protocol compliance checkpoints, and quality review cycles that reduced data rework and clarification cycles, saving 10 hours per week and improving vendor accountability across programs.
• Transformed complex multi-omics and pharmacodynamic datasets into visual analytics and structured scientific summaries using JMP and Excel, enabling scientists, biostatisticians, and clinicians to interpret results 50% faster and accelerate R&D decision-making across active trial programs.
• Partnered cross-functionally with Translational Research, Clinical Pharmacology, and Biostatistics teams to align biomarker deliverables with protocol objectives, bridging technical and non-technical stakeholders and ensuring on-time regulatory readiness across multiple concurrent trials.
• Applied AI-driven machine learning platforms to interpret complex clinical datasets across oncology programs, supporting data-driven biomarker signal detection and contributing to translational research strategy aligned with global trial objectives.
• Led biannual cross-border strategy sessions in Japan, coordinating translational research alignment across global teams and consolidating scientific and operational inputs to maintain program continuity across international stakeholders. Montclair State University
Biochemistry Research Associate
Sep 2019 - Jun 2022
• Designed and optimized protein expression, purification, and kinetics assay workflows for tuberculosis drug discovery research, documenting standardized experimental protocols that improved reproducibility by 30% and reduced repeated experimental cycles by 10 hours per week across a 5-person research team.
• Investigated tuberculosis molecular resistance mechanisms using quantitative kinetics datasets, contributing findings to peer-reviewed scientific publications and supporting target identification for antibiotic drug discovery programs. Cross County Orthopaedics
Clinical Surgery Research Associate
Mar 2017 - Mar 2019
• Structured and analyzed patient outcome data for a comparative clinical study evaluating robotic versus traditional surgical techniques, organizing datasets to enable statistically meaningful comparisons and improving research clarity by 20%.
• Collected, interpreted, and reported surgical outcome data across a 5-person research team, producing evidence-based findings that supported clinical conclusions on procedural advancements and contributed to the research program's publications pipeline. EDUCATION
