My long-term interest in peptide research started during my graduate training in the Department of Chemistry at NYU, where I developed peptide-mimetic inhibitors of protein-protein interactions and studied alpha-helical peptide folding. I then did a postdoc in the Chemical Biology Laboratory of the US National Cancer Institute to develop peptide-based biomaterials that improve drug delivery and cellular permeability. I joined Genentech at the end of 2020 and am currently a Senior Scientist in the Department of Peptide Therapeutics (Early Discovery Biochemistry). Here, my group is interested in all aspects within the discovery, development, and delivery of next generation peptide drugs.
