Policy + Data + ScienceI leverage evidence and data to answer health policy questions. I am an experienced subject matter expert on multifaceted drug-related topics, from international counternarcotics to FDA approvals. I conceptualize and direct multi-modal research analyses to make informed, strategic policy decisions. Previous research has included cell & gene therapy policy, clinical trial design, accelerated approval priority review vouchers, patient experience data, single-arm trials, post-marketing requirements, pediatrics, and others. Additionally, I am a proponent for increasing team-wide data use, process improvement, and data literacy—including AI/ML applications. I have experience writing code in R and using other software to generate data analysis and visualizations.
I am currently the Director for Regulatory Intelligence and Policy Research on the Global Regulatory Intelligence team at the pharmaceutical company Takeda. Before, as a AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellow working at the U.S. State Department, I served as a subject matter expert on foreign policy priorities related to drug science, demand reduction, supply reduction, the opioid crisis, and the world drug problem. Previously, as a PhRMA Foundation Regulatory Science Fellow in Regulatory Science and Policy at Sanofi I developed data-driven strategies to inform policy positions on antimicrobial resistance, vaccines, opioids, and artificial intelligence. In my PhD work I used both tissue experimental methods and computational modeling to quantify neuronal control of airways in lung diseases like asthma or after e-cigarette exposure. In my undergraduate work, I studied chemistry, economics, and physics. In addition to working, I like to run marathons, read, and study Mandarin Chinese. 我会说一点儿中文 |
