About

Physician-scientist (MD, PhD) with 17+ years of experience spanning oncology drug development, clinical development, translational medicine, and cancer immunology research. Experienced in advancing novel therapeutics from target validation and translational strategy through first-in-human studies, dose optimization, RP2D selection, and early clinical proof-of-concept.My expertise includes early clinical development, medical monitoring, clinical strategy, protocol development, investigator engagement, safety oversight, and cross-functional leadership across first-in-human and early-stage oncology programs. Therapeutic experience includes gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), MAPK-driven solid tumors, immuno-oncology, polycythemia vera, AL amyloidosis, and rare diseases. In addition to extensive Phase I–II experience, I have supported Phase III study initiation and close-out activities and served as Medical Lead for healthy volunteer, food-effect, and clinical pharmacology studies.Most recently served as Clinical Development Lead and Project Medical Monitor for multiple oncology programs at Deciphera Pharmaceuticals, leading dose-escalation strategy, safety assessment, biomarker integration, investigator engagement, and clinical development planning across first-in-human and early-stage studies.Prior experience includes translational medicine and biomarker development at Janssen (Johnson & Johnson), supporting the development of bispecific and trispecific immuno-oncology therapies and leading CRISPR-Cas9 pooled functional genomics programs for biomarker discovery, target identification, and resistance mechanism studies. Earlier experience at MEI Pharma focused on oncology drug development for hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. My academic research at Temple University focused on tumor immunology, melanoma biology, and tumor microenvironment signaling, resulting in multiple first-author publications and novel discoveries in cancer immune regulation.

Conducted pioneering research in melanoma biology and cancer immunology, uncovering novel mechanisms by which inflammatory signaling regulates tumor progression, metastasis, immune evasion, and anti-tumor immunity. Key discoveries included tumor-promoting functions of melanoma-specific IFN-γ signaling, γδ T cell–mediated modulation of the tumor microenvironment, noncanonical regulation of melanogenesis, and EGR4-dependent control of T-cell differentiation and anti-cancer immune responses.
