As a trained microbiologist, I am motivated to use my scientific knowledge to make a difference in global health. My previous work on the basic biology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis formed an excellent foundation upon which to build a drug discovery team. Using knowledge of vulnerabilities in the bacterial pathogen, we can find tractable and novel drug targets. In addition, a grounding in bacterial physiology allows us to develop relevant screening platforms and to run a battery of experimental assays to select the best chemical series to work on in a drug discovery program. We work collaboratively with a large number of external partners, both industrial and academic, to advance new TB drugs.
Previously, I was the Senior Vice President of Drug Discovery at the Infectious Disease Research Institute, where I established a research group focused on tuberculosis drug discovery group. Prior to that, I was Professor of Mycobacteriology at Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry, with a research group focused on mycobacterial biology.
