Awards & Honors
Throughout my career, I have been fascinated by the complexity of information conveyed by seemingly simple protein interactions. At Genentech, my lab focuses on discovering the receptor-ligand interactions that underlie human disease by combining an engineer’s eye for technological innovation with a drive to answer scientific questions. Here, I collaborate closely with Genentech’s leading experts in immunology, oncology, neuroscience and infectious diseases to fuel therapeutic discoveries with strong foundations in basic science.
