Experience
Principal Scientist
Feb 2022 — Present
Key member of the NGM438 team: as initial Research Project Team Co-Lead, my team guided antibody screening and discovered collagen-driven myeloid biology used to identify NGM438 as an antagonist of LAIR1-mediated immune suppression. As the current Translational Lead, I leveraged our discoveries to develop a predictive and PD biomarker strategy, wrote and co-authored multiple IND reports, made direct contributions to the clinical protocol including SOA design/indication selection/biomarker rationale, worked closely with our central and specialty labs to create our LES/LTR/LSD/Laboratory Manual, and designed/oversaw validation of our clinical RO assay. I also lead LAIR1 research which include in-house discovery efforts to understand NGM438 MOA, overseeing studies at CROs, and collaborations with external investigators.
