Work with thought leaders and academic experts in genetics

Companies can benefit from working with someone whose expertise is in the field of genetics in several ways. Firstly, they can enhance their research and development efforts by leveraging the academic researcher's knowledge and insights. The researcher can provide valuable guidance in designing experiments, analyzing data, and interpreting results. Secondly, companies can tap into the researcher's expertise to develop innovative products and solutions. The researcher's deep understanding of genetics can help identify new opportunities and create cutting-edge technologies. Thirdly, collaborating with an academic researcher can enhance a company's credibility and reputation. By partnering with a recognized expert in the field, companies can demonstrate their commitment to scientific excellence and gain trust from customers and investors. Lastly, the researcher can also contribute to the company's thought leadership and industry influence. Their research findings and publications can position the company as a leader in the genetics field and attract attention from key stakeholders.

My work has focused on how we can use data to support decisions to individualize monitoring to optimize human performance.  My work has demonstrated that a one size fits all approach is not the way to optimize performance in any setting.  My monitoring approach is one that utilizes a network physiology paradigm, which focuses on nonlinear dynamic interactions. In my athlete monitoring I focus on leveraging EMA and wearables; biological sampling and resistance exercise and conditioning prescribed to elicit a specific biological response.    Additionally, as a practitioner it is important to understand the limitations of athlete monitoring, which is another area research and practice has focused.  This is an important skillset that is currently being utilized by the in a project entitled “Integrating mHealth and Physical Function to Develop a Predictors of Injury and Optimal Performance Model in Special Military Operators “with the Rangers in the 3/75 Ranger Battalion.  This approach is one that quantifies factors such as dosage variables of training and lifestyle factors (sleep, nutrition, life stress).  Using this data, we are working on individualizing acute training sessions to optimize readiness and performance enhancement.   During my time at Syracuse University, I was the professor of record to teach the NSCA CSCS preparation course and lead the strength and conditioning program.  We were developing a master’s in exercise science and I was in the process of working on certification with the NSCA.  We also worked closely with athletics to secure strength and conditioning assistantships to allow for student funding.  I am currently on several NSCA committees, which include the Education and Women’s Committee (next certification cycle).    I am particularly adept at all phases of the athletic performance enhancement and these experiences have given me expertise in evidence based program design, linear and non-linear periodization, exercise endocrinology, resistance exercise physiology and acute and chronic training readiness and non-training parameters

Motivated and growth-driven biomedical scientist with over 15 years of experience in the cardiovascular field. Strong background in cell and molecular biology, data analysis, and interpretation. Seeking #newopportunities to deliver value as a Senior Scientist, Associate Principal Scientist, Scientific Liaison, or Scientific Consultant within a company that combines new technologies such as single-cell omics and AI for drug discovery and personalized medicine. <br> Throughout my career, I've used various in vivo and in vitro models to investigate the molecular and cellular mechanisms of fibrosis and inflammation in the heart, and how these mechanisms are affected in mice with different genetic backgrounds. My experience includes project management and mentoring. I completed three projects involving international collaborations, supervised two junior researchers, and taught cellular and molecular techniques to at least six professionals. As one of the launching editors and senior editor at Nature Cardiovascular Research, I oversaw the quality of the content published in the journal and the editorial process. I collaborated with authors, reviewers, and editors to ensure the highest standards of scientific rigor, relevance, and innovation. I also contributed to the journal's vision, strategy, and outreach, promoting the latest advances and discoveries in the cardiovascular and hematology fields. This experience has sharpened my analytical and communication skills and broadened my understanding of the field, covering a wide range of studies, from basic research to clinical, epidemiological, and public health research. My mission is to advance the knowledge and practice of cardiovascular medicine and to bridge the gap between research and clinical applications. Keywords: cardiovascular, #fibrosis, inflammation, cardioimmunology, RNA, single-cell biology, #transcriptomics, imaging, animal models, small animal surgery, and scientific writing.

About
I am a dedicated Scientist-I at Garuda Therapeutics, where I specialize in computational biology and genomics within the R&D department. My work primarily revolves around developing and optimizing pipelines for variant calling using Strelka2 and GATK4 with Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) to identify oncogenes in human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). This involves extensive work in the qualification and validation of these pipelines for regulatory filings, as well as leveraging databases such as ClinVar, COSMIC, and DepMap to craft targeted oncogenes panels for deep sequencing. I also apply Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) for downstream sequencing to validate CRISPR knockouts, including the identification and validation of CRISPR off-targets using techniques like rhAMPseq and Induce-seq. Additionally, my expertise extends to single-cell sequencing analysis and understanding structural variants with Optical Genome Mapping (Bionano). Prior to joining Garuda Therapeutics, I completed a postdoctoral fellowship in computational biology at Pennsylvania State University, where I honed my skills in identifying climate-adaptive variants and conducted Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) to uncover resistance genes against parasites and other stressors. My academic journey began at the University of Vermont, where I explored abiotic stress resistance genes using transcriptomics and developed a robust understanding of RNA-seq data analysis, from assembly to gene annotation. My work is driven by a passion for leveraging computational and genomics tools to address pressing challenges in biology and healthcare, combining my rigorous academic training with a practical, solution-oriented approach to research and development.
