About Dona Murphey
Demonstrated success working in a health tech environment to create and manage a team of clinical EEG readers for critical care diagnostics with oversight for ICU EEG monitoring, and on cross-functional teams for a suite of EEG services in clinical trials. Skilled at evaluating new EEG technologies and forging strategic partnerships. Knowledgeable in clinical trials, sensory neuroscience, ICU EEG, and safety / quantitative EEG. Expert consulting experience in the design, conduct, analysis, and interpretation of EEG in clinical trials to assess the potential of a drug to elicit spikes, seizures, and other epileptiform rhythmic and periodic patterns. A key to her leadership style: Just as the brain leverages distributed networks for computational power, the most effective teams leverage inclusion, collective intelligence, mutual dependencies, and flat organizational structure. Intersections of identity, work, and values: Neurologist, neuroscientist, historian of science, and community organizer. Skilled at navigating local, state, national, international, and cross-disciplinary medico-legal partnerships across academia, government, nonprofit (including faith-based), and health tech sectors where race, poverty, immigration, and health intersect. Advancing the unyielding belief that health, public education, migration, and voting are foundational rights of a healthy democracy. Incubating a radically different, anti-racist social impact company in early dementia screening and culturally fluent and language-specific health navigation/promotion.
