SCIENTIST, EDUCATOR, INNOVATOR
I am greatly interested in translational science, and have focused my career on advancing novel therapies from the laboratory bench. Former Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, and a Scientific-Founder of Magenta Therapeutics, I am currently the Senior Director of Hematology and Immune Therapeutics at Moderna. Broad expertise in stem cell science, immunology, gene therapy, regenerative medicine, and hematology, with a track record of developing multiple therapeutic approaches now being explored in clinical trials.
