I am an industry scientist and leader with >10 years of full-time research experience in protein biochemistry, design, and structural characterization. My current focus is the development of better vaccines and protein therapeutics through an understanding of protein antigen structure. I am also interested in the engineering and development of targeted antibodies. I currently lead a diverse team of scientists to deliver multiple projects in preclinical R&D. I have been actively involved with ACA: The Structural Sciences society for the past 7 years taking on multiple leadership roles and organizing events at the annual meetings.
