Novartis | PhD MIT Biology | B.S. Duke University

I’m a tumor immunologist with a PhD in Immunology from MIT, now transitioning my career toward oncology drug discovery. After several years studying how the immune system interacts with cancer, I became deeply motivated to work in an environment where scientific insights can rapidly translate into therapies that make a tangible difference for patients. I recently joined Novartis as an Innovation Postdoctoral Fellow in the Oncology Small Molecule Biology team, where I’m excited to broaden my focus beyond immunology and contribute to the development of new therapeutic strategies. I thrive in highly collaborative, interdisciplinary settings and am energized by the opportunity to work closer to drug development, where creativity, rigor, and teamwork come together to advance medicines for patients who need them.
