Work with thought leaders and academic experts from University of Maryland, Baltimore

I have more than 25 years of research and consulting experience focused on issues affecting the translation of genomics to clinical practice, particularly for pharmacogenetic testing. Specifically, I have substantial experience in writing and education, with each of my research projects involving some component of professional, public or patient education, including development of educational materials about genomic research in general, and communicating genetic test results. In addition, I have been an undergraduate instructor for several classes including ethical issues in genomics research, genome technologies & applications, synthetic genomics, and pharmacogenomics.

As a senior scientist, I have over a decade of experience in microbiological research and project management focusing on the structure and function of the microbiome in health and disease in humans, primates, rodents, and invertebrates. My strengths lie in the design, execution, and analysis of large ‘omics datasets, for which I have been recognized for performance excellence and contributions to high-impact publications and IP generation. I have worked with and led diverse teams of researchers to complete complex research projects, which have influenced experimental processes and met both company or collaborator’s goals globally.
