Pharmaceutical Sciences
I joined Genentech in November of 2005 as Director of Small Molecule Pharmaceutical Sciences. In this role, I am responsible for Process Chemistry, Pharmaceutics, Formulation Development, and Analytical Development. Our role is to enable the selection of clinical candidates, design a process for making drugs, deliver supplies for safety studies & clinical trials, and scale the process for eventual commercialization.
I was attracted to Genentech because of their commitment to basic research, high quality science, and ability to translate this knowledge into drugs that make a difference. I am excited to be a part of the small molecule discovery and development effort and working with top scientists who share the same passion and sense of urgency as I do.
My Focus
My current project is to build and expand the small molecule development capabilities and at the same time, support the discovery efforts of a growing portfolio.
We are fostering a unique culture here at Genentech based on talented scientists who enjoy what they do, science driven decisions, a focus on progressing projects, and technology to enable our efforts
