4. Develop translatable biomarkers to effectively monitor and manage safety in humans.

5. Identify the key routes to translate in vitro observations into whole animal studies to provide in vivo Proof of Concept/ Proof of Mechanism for novel therapeutic candidates.

6. Identify efficacy markers (“biomarkers”) in animal models (oncology/endocrine/cardiovascular) which may be translatable into human studies and ensure that these are appropriately examined in translational approaches.

7. Dotted line supervision of a laboratory (with 4-5 scientific staff) for biomarkers (Molecular Diagnostics Lab) and training technical staff in newly introduced techniques (through IHC/RT-PCR/Luminex/Meso-scale/Veridex (CTCs); etc). Interactions with local lab leads & scientists from Discovery and Safety Assessment groups.

8. Key role in the oncology, inflammatory and myotox biomarker committees tasked with the identification and validation of safety biomarkers.

9. Translational animal model experience working in the area of oncology, neuroscience, metabolic disorders (diabetes, obesity, atherosclerosis), cardiovascular, endocrine disorders, inflammation, hypertension.
