In Vivo Pharmacology Scientist | Immunology & Translational Research | PK/PD & Assay Development

Profile Summary

I am a neuroscientist with over eight years of experience in in vivo pharmacology and translational research within biotech and academic settings. My work has focused on designing and executing preclinical studies to support drug discovery programs in immunology, neuromuscular disease, addiction neurobiology, and RNA-based therapeutics.
I have extensive hands-on experience with rodent models, including mice and rats, performing a wide range of dosing techniques (IV tail vein, retro-orbital, IP, SC, intranasal, ICV, and intrathecal) as well as complex tissue collections such as brain microdissections, spinal cord, and peripheral tissues. I have led PK/PD studies, vaccine dosing cohorts, and immunology-focused in vivo experiments, ensuring rigorous data collection, documentation, and compliance with animal welfare and quality standards.
My laboratory expertise includes assay development and biomarker analysis using ELISA, Luminex, digital PCR, Simple Wes, and other molecular and protein-based platforms. I am experienced in study design, data analysis, statistical interpretation, and cross-functional collaboration with discovery, CMC, and analytical teams. I have worked extensively with electronic lab notebooks (Benchling), Smartsheets, GraphPad Prism, and Microsoft 365 to support data integrity and project tracking.
Throughout my career, I have contributed to advancing oligonucleotide and RNA-based therapeutic programs, including intranasal dosing for vaccine groups and immunomodulatory strategies. I am highly detail-oriented, organized, and comfortable managing multiple concurrent studies while troubleshooting technical challenges.
I hold a bachelor’s degree in neuroscience and bring a strong foundation in experimental design, statistical analysis, and translational science. I am motivated by bridging preclinical discovery with meaningful therapeutic impact and thrive in collaborative, fast-paced research environments.
