Profile Information
- About me:
- Chief Executive Officer
After conducting research in my own laboratory in academia for over 20 years, and then facilitating the funding of neuromuscular disease research by National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) for the next 10 years, PPMD offered me this unparalleled opportunity to synthesize that experience and bring it directly to bear on the challenges of better quality of life and novel treatments for people with Duchenne. I’m thrilled to join such a strong and vibrant team at PPMD, and work with the broader community of dedicated scientists, physicians, patient advocates, and families, in a leave no-stone-unturned approach to end Duchenne.
