EMPLOYMENT HISTORY
FOUNDER | VP -- BIOMEDICAL INFORMATICS AND ANALYTICS Sept 2010 Present SmartLife, Canton, MA Developed business plan and infrastructure for a smartphone based SaaS platform for real-time decision support in behavioral weight management. CONSULTANT -- BIOMEDICAL INFORMATICS AND ANALYTICS July 2009 Present Independent Consultant, Canton, MA Steered the development of an analytics platform for connected health, a clinical decision support system for mHealth, and an integrated modeling and analysis platform for drug development.. ASSOCIATE RESEARCH FELLOW Oct 2007 April 2009 Computational Biology Division Pfizer Global Research and Development, Groton, CT Guided the computational discovery of potential drug targets and biomarkers in bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and Alzheimers disease permitting more efficient utilization of experimental resources and substantial improvements in the safety and efficacy of new drug molecules. Headed the development of a novel approach to computationally identify bacterial cell surface proteins from primary sequence resulting in the identification of several new targets for vaccine development.

SENIOR SCIENTIST Jan 2004- April 2006 Drug Discovery Consulting Services Pharsight Corporation, Mountain View, CA Led the development of nonlinear mixed-effects modeling efforts from early clinical trial data to optimize later trial designs in order to maximize the probability of success and significantly reduce clinical drug development costs. DIRECTOR -- DISCOVERY INFORMATICS Feb 2002 April 2003 AnVil, Inc., Burlington, MA Directed the analysis of a healthcare claims database discovering several unknown clinical relationships that resulted in significant cost savings for the client and attracted the interest of two large pharmaceutical companies. Managed multiple collaborations with the National Cancer Institute (NCI) which resulted in the publication of an article on predictive modeling of non-small cell lung cancer on the basis of gene expression data. DIRECTOR BIOINFORMATICS Oct 2000 April 2001 Cellomics, Inc., Pittsburgh, PA Supervised the development, testing, and successful deployment of CellSpace Knowledge Miner, a web-based text analysis tool for mining scientific citations in the Medline database. NLM POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW BIOMEDICAL INFORMATICS Sept 1997 May 1999 University of Pittsburgh Center for Biomedical Informatics, Pittsburgh, PA Acquired background and training in biomedical informatics, clinical multimedia applications, hospital information systems, evaluation methods for clinical information systems, machine learning, decision support and analysis, database design, knowledge representation, and expert systems. CLINICAL RESEARCH FELLOW MOLECULAR BIOLOGY Oct 1994 Sep 1997 Magee-Womens Research Institute, Pittsburgh, PA Published the first paper describing changes in maternal leptin concentrations in preeclampsia and suggesting the possibility that alterations in maternal-fetal leptin regulation may play a significant role in the disease process.
