I am a natural product chemist with 20 years of experience in biomedical research, specifically in targeted cancer therapy. My interest is preclinical development of immunotoxins, and I have collaborated with cell biologists, pharmacologists, immunologists and clinicians. I have worked in both academic (FHCRC) and industrial laboratory settings, and have five years of administrative experience in the private sector at a biotechnology corporation.
In the last five years, my research interests have included nutritional factors and cancer prevention, specifically the role of Allium vegetables in cancer prevention.
