Experience

1. Principal Medical Writer Consultant

   Virgo Health

   Apr 2023 — Present

   Principal Medical Writer/Consultant for Virgo Health, improving medical and scientific communications for several multinational pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies, with a primary role as the lead medical writer in scientific platform development for AstraZeneca\'s next-generation COVID-19 prophylactic spike-protein–targeting monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for better protecting immunocompromised individuals. This work will aid in AstraZeneca publishing and disseminating their findings from experiments and clinical trials on the epidemiology, unmet need, mechanism of action, efficacy, and safety of these next-generation COVID-19 mAbs. Since immunocompromised individuals represent only 3% of the US population yet suffer from nearly 50% of all COVID-19–related hospitalizations and deaths due to their immune systems being unable to marshal a sufficient defense from either COVID-19 vaccines or infections, providing them with an exogenous-derived next-generation mAb defense that is carefully designed to combat and concomitantly best evade resistance and variant mechanisms of COVID-19 will likely save and substantially improve many lives. While our headquarters are in London, I continue to work remotely in Boston/Cambridge (MA), primarily working with our New York–based team and coordinating across teams in London and Chicago as needed. And although I\'ve previously been offered positions as a Medical Director and/or Scientific Director to lead a team of medical writers, I prefer to avoid managerial obligations and instead focus on diving deep into the scientific and medical literature firsthand for creating deliverables; with this impetus as a Principal Medical Writer, I am now able to earn as much as I would in most roles as a Medical/Scientific Director. This current role is separate from my ongoing role as a Scientific Editor/Consultant for multiple other companies around the world focused on scientific communications for academic labs.
