CURRENT RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the Executive Director of Laurus Biotechnology, LLC, an independent biotechnology consulting firm, I am utilizing my accumulated technical, manufacturing, regulatory and quality assurance expertise to aid companies, universities and non-profits in rapidly developing critical capabilities to meet their key milestones.
As a member of the KLYO Collaborative, our team rapidly brings together solutions across the entire process (product) development spectrum as well as embracing all aspects of facility design, construction, validation and operation using novel, cost-effective, time-saving mechanisms based on both collective experiences and innovative practices. At our core KLYO is a diverse multidisciplinary team of corporate colleagues who have very successfully achieved together and built together.
Most recently I served as Executive Vice President and Chief Technical Officer of Gradalis, Inc. I started at Gradalis as employee number one in 2005. I was responsible for the creation and smooth operation of the Quality Assurance, Quality Control, Assay Development, Product Development and Manufacturing functions. I created cohesive multifunctional teams to rapidly, efficiently and effectively solve problems as we worked with our collaborative research partners and the Mary Crowley Medical Research Center physicians and staff and other independent clinical partner sites to place our cancer treatments into clinical trial settings as quickly and efficiently as possible. We established six open INDs with six active Phase I and five active Phase II clinical trials. Gradalis is now well positioned to move forward into the next phase of product testing and corporate development.

CAREER INTERESTS:
My scientific interests are to elucidate the fundamental processes of development - specifically the influence of cell-to-cell interactions and molecular factors on the process of cellular differentiation and gene expression/regulation, especially as it applies to function in the intact organism. These goals are most readily realized in a setting of new technological innovation combined with practical therapeutics development. My goals in industry are to develop (both in a scientific sense and in a business sense) new product concepts and new means of production which will advance the practice of medicine for the betterment of society while simultaneously contributing to the revolutionary field of personalized medicine.
I served as Vice President and Corporate Officer, CellExSys, Inc. and post-merger, held similar positions at Chromos Molecular Systems, Inc. Developed an antigen-specific autologous T cell therapy for Hepatitis B; developed other antigen-specific autologous T cell treatment concepts; established internationally-compliant internal GLP/GMP standards; oversaw Manufacturing, Assay Development, Quality Assurance, Clinical Affairs and Regulatory Affairs; performed international business development and financing operations.
I served as US Oncology, Inc. Scientific Director and developed the Molecular / Cell Processing Center. Enhanced the clinical research program by performing cell processing and gene therapy support functions under GLP / GMP conditions and according to current international clinical cell processing standards / guidelines. Developed GVAX Lung Vaccine manufacturing for Cell Genesys and performed clinical trials for them and other sponsors. Developed other new clinical treatment protocols for internal and external sponsored trials. Brought all research laboratories up to GLP standards in the Mary C. Crowley Research Program at the Baylor Research Institute. Worked with the Mary Crowley Medical Research Center to develop common biosafety and clinical specimen handling programs.
My activities at Baxter Healthcare Corporation included the development of a molecular biology program that was integrated into various business sectors and spurred the development of molecular biology groups within various operating units of the corporation. The molecular biology focus involved the development of nucleic acid-based and recombinant protein-based diagnostics and therapeutics, especially as they related to human hematopoiesis, i.e blood cell formation.
In addition, I functioned as a biotechnology consultant and strategic planner for senior management (both corporate and divisional). In this capacity, I identified and evaluated new technologies and product opportunities both internal and external. This function required the assimilation and review of patents, business plans, technical reports and other relevant information on these potential corporate ventures. I participated in both the discovery/evaluation and the negotiation/closure processes. My experience was both domestic and international (Europe and Asia). I performed assessments of academia, government institutions and both start up and established companies. At Baxter, I was involved in the evaluation of DNA and monoclonal antibody-based diagnostics, nucleic acid amplification technologies, therapeutic proteins, gene therapy opportunities, cell culture constituents and various types of bioreactors.
Research Associate studies included the analysis of the induction of terminal differentiation in transformed erythroid precursors, the biochemical and kinetic characterization of the erythropoietin receptor, the development of
in situ hybridization diagnostic techniques to determine the mammalian site(s) of synthesis of erythropoietin and the cloning and further characterization of the erythropoietin receptor.
Ph.D. thesis encompassed the study of the ontogeny of globin gene expression in
Rana catesbeiana in regard to choice of Hb type, RBC morphology, erythropoietic microenvironment (in cellular and molecular terms) and the development of erythropoietic potential in tissues.
