Work History

Senior Principal Scientist-Discovery Technologies

Eli Lilly and Company
New York, NY
06.2020 - Current
  • 3D culture with organoids generated from patient samples
  • 3D screening assays (384 well) using organoids with a specific genetic fingerprint to look at drug combinations
  • Co-culture assays with organoids expressing a fluorescently labeled protein of interest. Test the ability of monospecific and bispecific antibodies to inhibit the ability of Neon Green labeled activated T-cells to invade the organoid. High content imaging readout as well an endpoint biochemical assay
  • Sort cells with Sony SH800
  • Maintain sorter and automated flow suite

Principal Research Associate-Quantitative Biology

Eli Lilly and Company
New York, NY
06.2016 - 06.2020
  • Developed and validated receptor occupancy assays using human whole blood for transfer to CRO
  • Developed and executed cell based assays (96 and 384-well) for screening novel antagonists of pathways involved in cancer cell growth
  • Conducted whole cell binding and blocking experiments with bispecific and monospecific antibodies
  • Conducted multi-color flow experiments with whole blood from treated mice to demonstrate target engagement and characterize T-cell populations after drug treatment
  • Provided quantitative flow for oncology projects (receptor density experiments)
  • Generated cell lines expressing proteins of interest with fluorescent tags using viral transduction. Use in high content imaging assays

Senior Research Associate-Oncology

Eli Lilly and Company
New York, NY
03.2014 - 06.2016
  • ex vivo MOA studies for Latruvo
  • Developed and validated biomarker assay for Latruvo

Research Scientist II-Oncology

ImClone Systems a wholly owned subsidiary of Eli Lilly
New York, NY
02.2009 - 04.2011
  • Carried out cell based MOA studies for Latruvo and IMC-RON8 for IND filing with the FDA. Wound healing, phospho, internalization and soft agar assays were employed to determine what effects our monoclonal antibodies had in the presence and absence of ligand
  • Created study reports for IND filing compliant with FDA standards
  • Identified and validated novel ion channel targets involved in cancer metastasis
  • Generated cell lines with relevant expression of protein(s) of interest
  • Validated binding and blocking ELISAs for antibody screening

Research Biologist

Merck
Rahway, NJ
01.2000 - 02.2009
  • Developed and validated automated electrophysiology assays for screening small molecule modulators of ROMK, Nav1.7, Nav1.8, and voltage gated calcium channels
  • Pre-clinical assays with candidate molecules to determine off target binding and potential side effects
  • Conducted MOA studies of pain therapeutics entering clinical trials
  • Cloning and expression of ion channel targets
  • Developed and validated FLIPR and VIPR assays for drug screening (96 and 384-well)
  • Supervised summer students' research projects
