I’m a medicinal chemist who is passionate about bringing new medicines to patients. I spent the first two decades of my career working on small molecules in antibacterial drug discovery. Joining Entact has been exciting so far and I am looking forward to seeing how the team tackles enhancing protein function with heterobifunctional molecules.
In my free time I enjoy traveling and being outdoors, gardening, hiking and backpacking. My favorite times are crisp fall days on the trail with my husband and dog.
