From bench to regulatory submission - writing informed by having done both.
I am a PhD-trained translational oncology scientist and medical writer with 15+ years of experience spanning research and clinical development, bringing hands-on expertise to every project.
My scientific career began in translational oncology and advanced through postdoctoral research on cancer stem cells, intestinal regeneration, and rare pediatric cancers. I investigated disease mechanisms, chemoresistance, metastasis, and therapeutic response, resulting in seven peer-reviewed publications in leading journals, a review article, a book chapter, and multiple conference presentations. Notably, I presented a first-author poster at AACR 2025 (selected as late-breaking) and served as leading author on a second AACR poster in 2026.
I transitioned to industry as a Senior Scientist in Translational Research and Clinical Development, leading programs in ctDNA-based biomarkers, GI oncology, and treatment-related peripheral neuropathy - contributing to clinical trial design, regulatory submissions, publications, and patents. I also supported strategic decision-making through competitive landscape analysis and data generation for clinical development and commercial positioning of the company's primary asset, as well as licensing discussions for non-oncology indications.
This diverse background enables me to understand how science is generated, evaluated, and applied in research, clinical, regulatory, and commercial settings - not just write about it.
