EMPLOYMENT HISTORY
Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C.
San Diego, CA, USA
Principal Scientist: present
Senior Scientist: 3/03 to 3/07
Scientist: 4/01-3/03
• I lead an in vivo pharmacology group reporting to Nigel Shankley. My team
has 6 direct reports and specializes in whole animal pharmacology, PK/PD and
the use of pharmacologically relevant animal models of human disease to
select and characterize the actions of new medical entities (NMEs).
• I am a drug discovery project leader responsible for directing the
activities of 10 full time employees in a highly matrixed environment. The
program is the anemia/cardiovascular/metabolic area.
• I was an active team member on programs resulting in 4 new medical
entities (NMEs) in three different therapeutic areas (gastro-intestinal,
anemia & cardiovascular) in 6 years. During this time I had increasing
responsibility for pre-clinical pharmacology, safety pharmacology and
toxicology for these programs. One of these NMEs is in Phase I and the
second is at a clinical proof of concept stage (Phase Ib/IIa). I also
contribute to clinical protocol design and have oversight for the PKPD/bio-marker
aspects of experimental medicine for the team’s clinical stage programs.

• I am responsible for capital purchases for the team and am active in
recruiting for the site (10-20 hiring committees per year).
• I have been a voting member on the Institutional Use and Care of Animals
committee for >4 years.
• Finally I have been included as an in-licensing team member from small
molecule therapeutics for Johnson & Johnson.
Nortran Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Now Cardiome Pharma Corp.
Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA
May 1998 - June 1999
September1995-May 1998. Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council
Industry/ Nortran Pharmaceuticals industry co-sponsored studentship.
• I contributed to the discovery of a novel anti-arrhythmic drug currently
being considered by the FDA for the treatment of atrial fibrillation
(RSD1235, now called vernakalant hydrochloride or KYNAPID™) while working at
Nortran. As part of this work I provided critical proof of concept
pre-clinical studies for the companies approach to the treatment of
ventricular and atrial arrhythmias. The FDA advisory panel recently voted
6-2 in support of approving KYNAPID™ for the treatment of atrial
fibrillation. A decision from the FDA is expected Jan. 19th, 2008.
• During this time, I had the opportunity to participate in out-licensing
and collaborative research programs with major pharmaceutical companies.
