Profile Summary

My background is unusually broad and grounded in deep scientific and operational experience. I’m a neuroscientist by training, with 15 years across academic research, preclinical drug development and contract research. I started my career as a bench electrophysiologist at a preclinical CRO, delivering whole-cell patch-clamp neuropharmacology and mechanism-of-action studies for pharmaceutical clients. In 2017 I co-founded Integrated Physiology Services (IPS) - a CRO specialising in preclinical in vivo physiology studies and cardiometabolic disease models. Experimental capabilities spanned metabolic phenotyping, chemogenetics and chronic cardiovascular radiotelemetry, with extensive experience delivering studies involving GLP-1 receptor agonists. At IPS I designed and delivered research programmes for pharma and biotech clients including Novo Nordisk and Flagship Pioneering. I translated sponsor objectives into executable studies, negotiated scope, pricing and contracts, managed the sponsor-CRO relationship throughout, and intervened when scientific or operational issues put delivery at risk. As co-founder and COO, alongside my business partner, I led scientific strategy, commercial development, financial management, strategic partnerships, governance, risk and company operations. Alongside this, I’ve worked in translational research, data analysis and scientific communication across academic, commercial and creative settings. Work includes science programming for the BBC World Service and editorial work for Google DeepMind.
