ABOUT MONIQUE TELLO

I am a board-certified, licensed physician with 20+ years of clinical experience, now thriving in immuno-oncology clinical development. Clinical lead on multiple Phase 1 and 2 clinical trials including a FIH study, collaborating with multiple functional teams to ensure patient safety, data integrity, and timeline adherence. I have a particular interest in toxicity management, and had a lead role in drafting our management recommendations for our Ph 2 protocols, as well as collaborating with Global Medical Affairs in creating educational material for our sites, and organizing a group of academic KOLs to write a review article on GI toxicity management that was published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. I have broad expertise in medical and scientific communications, including co-authoring congress abstracts, peer-reviewed journal articles, clinical trial site and participant education materials. I am author of over 700 publications including evidence-based lifestyle change guide Healthy Habits for Your Heart, five years of original health and wellness contributions to the Harvard Health Blog, articles for Scientific American, Doximity OpMed, NEJM Knowledge+ Blog, and many more. I co-founded/ co-directed the MGH Healthy Lifestyle Program, a primary care initiative to develop, test, and implement healthy behavior change interventions. I led our research arm in designing and validating a nutrition assessment tool for clinical use. I was a longtime instructor at the Harvard Medical School. I am Latinx, with proficiency in Spanish.
