Translational Cardiovascular Scientist | Gene Therapy, Preclinical Strategy, Target Validation & Multiomics Analysis

Profile Summary

I am a translational cardiovascular scientist and Assistant Professor with over 12 years of experience spanning cardiovascular biology, gene therapy, target validation, and multi-omics analysis, with additional training in cancer biology and oxidative stress pathways. My work sits at the interface of mechanistic discovery and preclinical translation. I have designed, led, and advised on multiple industry-collaborative preclinical programs, including AAV-based gene therapy and gene-editing strategies for heart failure, cardiomyopathies, and arrhythmias. I regularly support projects that require biological plausibility assessment, target prioritization, study design, and interpretation of complex datasets. I help clients with: Target discovery and validation (cardiovascular and cardio-oncology programs) Preclinical strategy and study design (mouse models, proof-of-concept planning) Gene therapy and gene-editing program evaluation Interpretation of RNA-seq (short- and long-read), proteomics, and lipidomics data Scientific diligence for early-stage biotech or translational programs Grant and manuscript strategy, including reviewer-style feedback My background includes the development and characterization of novel disease models, leadership roles in industry-academic collaborations, and authorship on 30+ peer-reviewed publications in leading cardiovascular journals. I am particularly effective at translating complex biology into clear, actionable insights for decision-making. I am available for remote, project-based consulting, short-term advisory work, and focused data or strategy reviews. All work is conducted in compliance with institutional and confidentiality guidelines. If you are looking for clear scientific judgment, strong translational thinking, and rigorous data interpretation, I’d be happy to discuss your project.
