I am part of a busy team conducting a range of activities in support of MMV’s mission, from engaging new partners in our work and the management of existing partners to negotiating terms and conditions, defining roles and responsibilities and leading due diligence processes. I also have primary responsibility for the management of our service providers - finding the best people, getting the best price and ensuring quality at every stage.

I have more than 15 years of experience in drug discovery and development gained from my time in the biotechnology and contract research industries including 5 years at MMV. Prior to joining MMV, I held positions in business development with Paragon Biomedical, Synarc Inc., and PPD in Cambridge, UK and before that I worked as a research and senior scientist at Cambridge Antibody Technology. I have a Ph.D. in Immunology from the University of London and a B.Sc. in Biochemistry from the University of Glasgow. I have recently begun studying for a master’s degree in biomedical ethics and healthcare with the University of Leeds.
