I joined the Clinical Pharmacology Department at Genentech in 2016, where I have focused on supporting ophthalmology programs. I work on cross-functional teams that support the clinical development of new drug candidates. I love seeing how all the pieces come together to inform team decisions and move a program forward.

Prior to Genentech, I received my PhD in chemical engineering at MIT, where I conducted research as a Hertz fellow in Dane Wittrup’s lab at the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research. My graduate research focused on the cellular level processing of antibody-drug conjugates, as a targeted cancer therapy. I developed a quantitative model of antibody-drug conjugates processing in order to understand what are the rate limiting steps for drug delivery via an antibody-drug conjugate.
