I pursued postdoctoral training in cardiopulmonary biology at the Veterans Administration in NJ and the Department of Neurosurgery at Rutgers University and neurobiology at the Weill Medical College, Cornell University. Since that time, I have been employed for 30 years in the pharmaceutical industry as a discovery pharmacologist and have authored >150 original peer reviewed research papers. During this time I have worked on many discovery projects in the cardiopulmonary, cerebrovascular and renal space and received the AHA Robert Seikert Award for outstanding stroke research and the George Koelle Award for contributions in Pharmacology. I have served as President of the Mid-Atlantic Pharmacology Society and as a Thomas Jefferson University adjunct professor, Nephcure Foundation scientific advisor, and currently serve as an industry mentor at the Perelman School of Medicine at University of Pennsylvania in the Institute of Translational Medicine. I am currently employed as VP, unit head and senior fellow in the Heart Failure & Renal Discovery Performance Unit at GSK. I am very excited about leading a new discovery alliance in partnership with Idera in Boston to explore a new gene silencing modality for the treatment of kidney disease. Finally, during my long career in drug discovery I have had the very great privilege of working with first-rate colleagues at all levels that have taught and inspired me. Show less
