Biographical Information

My PhD work at Tulane involved self-guided experimental research on the relationship between Human Adult Stem Cells and multiple myeloma. My areas of expertise are bone biology, multiple myeloma, adult stem cells, animal models of bone disorders, and assay development.

I was previously the senior Assay Development Scientist at Genalyte, Inc, responsible for development of macro- and small molecule assays on the platform, and I now work with startups on new technology development.
