Over the past two decades, 我已经在澳门葡京网赌游戏的所有主要疾病领域发现并开发了新药.
我的第一个学位是化学工程,在那里我对酶和分子进化产生了兴趣. 在我读博士期间,我研究了在试管中进化具有新功能的蛋白质变体的方法. I then started my career in biotech before moving into R&D leadership and from there clinical development.
在澳门葡京网赌游戏,我首先领导了全球技术部门. 澳门葡京赌博游戏研究的创新药物模式最终贡献了澳门葡京赌博游戏研究组合的一半以上. 然后我就有机会获得了其中一个药物线索, a dual agonist peptide, into clinical trials and help transform it into a new medicine.
Today, my primary role is to lead a team of drug developers. 澳门葡京赌博游戏正在用一系列的模式(小分子)探索人类生物学, peptides, anti-sense nucleotides, siRNAs, proteins, antibodies) across all our indications (cardiovascular disease, heart failure, kidney diseases, liver and metabolic diseases). 澳门葡京赌博游戏承担临床前项目,并引导它们进行临床概念验证和III期过渡. As Fellow of Trinity Hall 在剑桥大学,我指导研究生学习蛋白质设计和定向进化主题,这使我与我开始的科学之旅保持密切联系.
每天驱使我的是将科学和创造力结合起来,设计出对患者有影响的新药.
