Senior Scientist | Immunoassay Development | Biosensors | IVD & Diagnostics Expert (PhD)

Profile Summary

I am an award-winning Analytical Chemist and Senior Scientist with 15+ years of experience in immunoassay development, biosensors, bioconjugation, analytical chemistry, and IVD product development across Abbott, Cardea Bio (Paragraf), Georgia Tech, and leading universities. I specialize in drug-of-abuse diagnostic kits, HEIA/ELISA/Lateral Flow/SEFRIA platforms, CRISPR-based biosensors, liquid biopsy assays, and electrochemical sensors. My work spans the full IVD lifecycle—from feasibility studies and assay optimization to method development, V&V, statistical analysis, stability studies, GMP/ISO13485 compliance, and design transfer to manufacturing. I have authored 75+ publications, including work in Nature Biomedical Engineering, and been recognized for 4 consecutive years among the Top 2% Scientists Worldwide (Stanford University & Elsevier). I offer scientific consulting, assay development, troubleshooting, technical writing, V&V planning, regulatory documentation, and data analysis for companies, startups, and researchers.
