About Viva Ayyar
As a therapeutics R&D scientist and quantitative medicine leader, I am committed to advancing drug development through innovative, data-driven, and quantitative model-informed strategies that improve decision-making and drive impactful outcomes for projects, portfolios, and patients.Grounded on inclusive leadership and a demonstrated ability to translate data into predictive models, I apply concepts of basic and clinical pharmacology and disease pathway knowledge to optimize candidate selection, patient dosing, and trial design, expediting medicines development. My areas of R&D experience and impact span immunology, infectious diseases, immune-oncology (lymphoma), cardiovascular and metabolism (thrombosis and MASH), and neurodegeneration (Alzheimer’s Disease).In matrixed development teams, I offer pharmacokinetic & pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) expertise to assess the developability of novel compounds - including target feasibility, lead selection, and therapeutic window - and inform clinical pharmacology and development strategy. I bring proven experience in advancing therapeutic antibodies, siRNA, and small molecules, along with driving effective regulatory interactions.
