Summary

  • I'm a physician-scientist and Head of Clinical Development focused on growing and nurturing an incredibly smart and hard-working team of physicians and scientists in the Clinical Development, Clinical Science, Translational Medicine, Clinical Pharmacology, Pharmacovigilance and Medical Writing functions at Relay Therapeutics. Our goal is to bring transformational new therapies to patients living with cancers and rare diseases through seamless clinical development from phase one to registration.

    My experiences span solid tumors and heme malignancies, from INDs and first-in-human phase ones to registrational Phase 2 and 3 randomized trials and an sNDA. I have driven clinical development and publication strategy, advisory boards, interacted with FDA, EMA and country level authorities in Europe and Asia, been involved with analyst interactions, business development/diligence and portfolio management. My research background includes genomics, targeted therapies, precision oncology molecular and computational biology.
