Physician · Clinical pharmacologist · Clinical sciences leader
Connecting medicine,
technology and people.
I bring a physician’s understanding of patient care to drug discovery and development, hands-on coding and the leadership of multidisciplinary teams.
Director & Head of Clinical Sciences at nference
Based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in the Greater Boston area.
A connected perspective
My foundation is medicine and clinical pharmacology: understanding disease, treatment choices and the course of a patient’s care. That clinical perspective informs how I approach the wider life sciences landscape.
I connect the questions asked in drug discovery with the realities of clinical development, the way electronic health records operate and the evidence needed to guide decisions. Coding lets me work directly with the data; leadership and teaching help others put that understanding to use.
The value I bring is the ability to connect these disciplines, understand their trade-offs and keep the patient’s needs in view.
Scientific & technical expertise
A physician’s understanding of diagnosis, treatment and ongoing patient management, combined with specialist training in how medicines work, how they are used and how their benefits and risks are assessed.
Patient care · Therapeutics · Benefit–risk assessment
Understanding the path from drug design and preclinical in vitro and in vivo experiments to trials in patients. Connecting study execution, clinical interpretation and regulatory requirements across that path.
Preclinical research · Clinical trials · Regulatory pathways
Hands-on programming in Python, R, SQL and Unix, with an understanding of how large electronic health record systems operate. Translating clinical questions into analytical workflows grounded in how the data are actually recorded and used.
Programming · Clinical workflows · EHR data
Designing studies of treatment use and patient outcomes, and applying clinical AI to make complex health data useful. Paying attention to study design, meaningful comparisons and what the results can support.
Observational research · Clinical AI · Evidence interpretation
My work with real-world data and electronic health records (EHRs) connects treatment patterns, patient outcomes and clinical AI with questions in clinical trials and drug development. Start with my real-world evidence and EHR research guide for the methods behind those questions.
Explore my publications across these disciplines, including clinical AI and real-world data research.
Leadership & human understanding
Leading multidisciplinary teams means understanding the people doing the work: their perspectives, motivations and the support they need to make good decisions.
Bring clinical, scientific and technical colleagues together around a shared question, with clear priorities, thoughtful feedback and responsibility for the outcome.
Working with US-based clients, customers, leaders and executives has sharpened how I listen, understand different expectations and connect scientific detail to decisions.
Make the reasoning visible. Explain the approach, work through uncertainty and help people develop the judgment to take the next step themselves.
Teaching, writing & mentorship
I teach by connecting the clinical question, the method and its practical meaning. Through mentoring, scientific publishing and interactive explanations, I help others work through complex ideas and apply them.
Work through research methods, clinical evidence and the reasoning behind them.
Explore my research, alongside a wider commitment to peer review and editorial work.

Experience in practice
A working principle
“What matters most is the impact created on human lives.”
Off the clock
Muay Thai teaches me to stay disciplined, persist and respond to feedback. It is a reminder to stay composed, keep learning and return to the work.
Curling adds another perspective: listening, coordinating and working together.

If it sits at the intersection of medicine, drug development, technology or people, I would be glad to hear it.
