Biotech Advisor | De-Risking Protein Therapeutics (Antibodies, ADCs, Bispecifics) | CMC & Early-Stage Strategy

Profile Summary

I help biotech teams de-risk and accelerate protein therapeutics programs, from early discovery to IND. I am a PhD-level protein scientist and former Director of Protein Sciences with 10+ years of industry experience across startups and Big Pharma. I have built three protein biochemistry labs from the ground up and supported multiple programs advancing into IND-enabling studies. My core expertise is in antibody-based therapeutics, including monoclonal antibodies, bispecifics, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), and fusion proteins. I specialize in solving complex expression, purification, and developability challenges that delay programs and increase cost. What I can help you with: • Antibody & protein therapeutic development strategy (discovery → IND) • Developability assessments (stability, aggregation, viscosity, manufacturability) • Expression & purification troubleshooting (mammalian and microbial systems) • Analytical method strategy (SEC, IEX, HIC, MS, binding assays) • CMC and IND-enabling planning • CRO/CDMO selection, oversight, and tech transfer • Technical due diligence for investors and BD teams Selected impact: • Designed purification workflows improving bispecific antibody purity to >95% while reducing timelines • Built and scaled protein science infrastructure at multiple startups • Supported IND-enabling workstreams and CDMO selection for clinical-stage programs • Inventor on multiple patents and author of 20+ peer-reviewed publications (Science, Nature Immunology) I work best with: • Early-stage biotech companies needing hands-on problem-solving • Teams preparing for IND or scaling CMC activities • Investors seeking rigorous technical due diligence
