Translational Medicine and Biomarker Research in Cancer Drug Discovery

ID: 739333 California, USA

Request Expert

Expert is a Scientist with 8+ years of extensive hands-on experience and deep understanding of cancer biology with focus on chromatin, RNA, epigenetics and gene expression regulation. She is a leader of multiple projects with interdisciplinary collaborators, driving conceptualization, execution, and in-depth analysis of ideas and experiments resulting in 9+ publications and 15+ conference presentations. Expert has laboratory management experience including personnel hiring, training, creating standard operational protocols and financial budgeting.

As a Translational Medicine Scientist in her current role, Expert is a biomarker lead, responsible for development and execution of biomarker strategy for clinical development. Additional expertise includes developing and implementing biomarker assays in preclinical models and clinical trials, evaluating new technologies as potential novel biomarker assay platforms, preclinical work for MoA studies, identifying and refining patient population, assembly of preclinical data packages and writing IND reports in support of IND submission, overseeing academic collaborations and CROs, and is an integral partner in multidisciplinary team of discovery, DMPK and in vivo pharmacology scientists.
