Summary

  • I retired from Eli Lilly and Company in 2014 after 25 years designing and conducting clinical trials in ALS, epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, pain and migraine. I continued to practice child neurology during my time at Lilly by spending one half day a week at Riley Hospital for Children seeing patients and staffing residents and medical students. I worked as an independent consultant in neuroscience drug development, child neurology and lifestyle medicine until becoming a PPDi employee in 2017. My title at PPD is VP, neuroscience, Global Product Development.
