Summary
- I am a Board Certified Infectious Disease Physician. After 18 years on faculty at the University of Maryland School of Medicine/Institute of Human Virology, I moved into drug development. First as Director in Clinical Development at Gilead (HCV/HBV), then as CMO at Cempra (antibiotics), currently as CMO at Visterra, an MIT-spinout monoclonal antibody developer (and now an Otsuka subsidiary). Visterra's focus is on developing better biologics for diseases of inflammation and immunity, focused principally on kidney disease, also with ongoing programs in selected infectious diseases.
