My Background

I am a medical doctor trained and certified in Internal Medicine, and in Allergy and Immunology from the US, and also I have a PhD in Immunology from Canada.  I have experience in human medical product development, early and late phase clinical trial design and analysis, and regulatory strategy for product approval in the US and globally.  I am experienced in scientific and regulatory aspects of small molecule drug and large molecule biologic product development in the clinical areas of respiratory medicine, allergy and immunology, rheumatology, and autoimmune diseases.  I have experience in development of medical products for common diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and rheumatoid arthritis, and less common diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis, cystic fibrosis, and vasculitides.  I also have basic science and clinical science expertise to study health harm reduction of smoke-free products compared to combustible cigarettes, and nicotine science broadly.
