With 400+ Health Transformers and 250+ companies, StartUp Health spans 5 continents, 20 countries and 65+ cities. My principal area of focus at StartUp Health was managing operations, portfolio management, and industry relations for the StartUp Health Academy, a lifetime coaching program and portfolio of 250+ digital health and biotechnology companies. I advised entrepreneurs and stakeholders on strategy, business development, fundraising, and product efficacy in our complex and evolving healthcare industry, and actively advocate for the small tech entrepreneur in government and in industry. Speaking engagements have included South-by-Southwest, Health Datapalooza, NYC’s HITLAB annual conference, the ONC National Meeting, the Connected Health Conference, and the US Health and Human Services’ Annual SBIR/STTR Conference.

I studied an important anti-inflammatory protein that has been implicated in many autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. From a more technical standpoint, my project involved phenotypically analyzing and comparing mouse lines that contain 3 different BAC transgenes containing various regulatory regions of the human A20 gene in order to define their importance in A20 expression. This involved the use of many laboratory techniques (shown in slides) and the maintenance of the largest mouse colony at HSS, which I supervised daily. I became well-versed in data analysis, experimental techniques, experimental planning, and scientific presentation. I have also regularly presented and supported original data to the Chief Scientific Officer and 5 senior scientists. In addition, I oversaw lab finances (which are funded by R01 grants) and prepared monthly expense reports for lab budgeting purposes. Show less
