About Salma Cruz
My ultimate goal is to enhance the lives of patients struggling with all manner of illness. I want to help lead an organization that applies science to the betterment of humankind. As I transition from leading research teams to the regulatory space, I will use my scientific expertise to facilitate and expedite the delivery of life changing medicines to the patients who desperately need them. I am a passionate leader and neuroscientist, specializing in neurodegenerative preclinical research and drug discovery in the pharmaceutical industry. My research has employed a multidisciplinary approach utilizing CRISPR gene – editing technologies, drug screening, biochemical, molecular, and various imaging techniques to understand the underlying mechanisms of rare diseases.
