I spearheaded AAV capsid engineering screens to optimize transduction efficiencies and reduce immunogenicity, resulting in a $2.5 million milestone payout. I also implemented automated workflows for screening AAV variants and neutralizing antibody assays, streamlining processes and increasing efficiency. I managed both directly and cross functionally scientists to deliver on timelines. Additionally, I collaborated with CDMOs, CROs, and biopharma partners for AAV production, study design, and bioanalytical QC steps.
