I joined Genentech as a Scientist in Fall 2014 in the Department of Antibody Engineering after completing graduate and postdoctoral studies in protein engineering focused on viral gene delivery and rationally designed antibodies. At Genentech, I enjoy working in the collaborative environment to discover novel biology and transformative drugs. We work to advance new therapies to patients by tackling challenging targets and engineering around drug delivery barriers.
My Focus
My group seeks to discover and engineer novel antibody solutions as biological tools and next-generation therapeutics. We focus mainly on two areas: complex membrane proteins and engineered antibody formats.
- Many complex membrane proteins, such as multi-transmembrane or disulfide-rich proteins, are often mutated or dysregulated in human disease, and as a whole, comprise a largely untapped target class. My group works in collaboration with structural biology and other biology groups to develop new technologies to advance therapeutic development in this area and unlock this challenging target space.
- Many biological barriers exist that prevent efficient drug delivery to a tissue of interest. We work to engineer novel antibody formats capable of overcoming these barriers.
