My group develops and provides biochemical and cellular assays to promote the discovery of small molecule therapeutics. We use these assays for high-throughput screening, compound profiling, and establishing structure-activity relationships. We have also established state-of-the-art, high-throughput automated systems for managing compounds and conducting assays. We explore and integrate new technologies for assays and automation to improve data quality, increase information content, and streamline processes. We collaborate both internally and externally to build informatics capabilities that facilitate process management and data analysis.

Most recently, I have begun working with our large molecule automation group. I value the opportunity to learn about the intricacies of antibody therapeutics while building on my interests in streamlining and strengthening our drug discovery efforts through automation and information management coupled with rigorous science.
