Associate Director, Discovery & Translational Portfolio Management

• Lead the TPM group, collaborating closely with the SVP of Global Early Clinical Development and other members of the Innovative Medicines R&D Leadership Team on biomarker and translational medicine strategy and execution.
• Work closely in collaboration with R&D leadership to enhance pre-clinical candidate selection and to develop comprehensive TPM scientific plans for each of the prioritized candidates selected to move into clinical development, further optimizing these plans throughout the life cycle of the compound.
• Independently and innovatively design and implement TPM/biomarker strategies and study plans to enhance probability of success for all clinical programs in collaboration with other relevant functions, and be accountable for on-time execution.
• Provide support and leadership for the design, planning and execution of early clinical trials through proof-of-concept/mechanism, and ensure the TPM strategy is refined in parallel with the development phase of the program.
• Advise relevant R&D functions as an expert in all TPM-related aspects of science, medicine, regulatory strategy, intellectual property (IP), assay development, commercial value, etc., providing expert support for the evaluation of in-licensing compound and collaboration opportunities.
• Oversee TPM personnel, budgets and other resources to ensure focused execution on pipeline deliverables, including translational medicine/biomarker plans, oversight of specialty vendor/assay selection, data analysis and interpretation and communication to relevant stakeholders.
• Represent and manage fiscal planning activities for yearly and quarterly inputs in partnership with colleagues in Finance.
• Foster a collaborative working environment both within and beyond the TPM group, including in matrix teams across R&D.
• Provide mentoring and guidance to direct reports as appropriate, including career development planning and opportunities.
• Identify and prioritize multiple potential indications for clinical development of single therapeutic entities.
• Participate in portfolio reviews, clinical development teams, operational teams, all other relevant governing bodies, and manage communication of TPM strategy, activities, and results across these teams as appropriate.
• Present and participate in international conferences, internally and externally, demonstrating deep scientific expertise and highly effective delivery to such audiences (including regulatory bodies, KOLs, payers, etc).
• Lead discussions with external KOLs and organize academic collaborations that further refine TPM understanding and objectives within programs.

Head of Translational and Precision Medicine

• Characterize and integrate biomedical data modalities — digital pathology (whole slide images), neuroimaging (PET, structural and functional MRI), omics (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics), and longitudinal clinical data to develop specialized, domain-specific models for neurodegeneration.
• Build and refine data engineering pipelines that harmonize heterogeneous modalities — reconciling differences in spatial resolution, temporal scale, and dimensionality — into unified analytical frameworks.
• Identify where cross-modal integration produces genuine insight versus where it introduces noise or artifact, establishing ground truth for downstream AI evaluation.
• Critically assess AI-driven literature synthesis and automated “third reviewer” capabilities for detecting methodological weaknesses, logical gaps, and unsupported claims across data modalities.
• Establish standards for how agentic systems incorporate overlooked or contradictory evidence such as negative findings, failed clinical trials, etc. and evaluate whether these integrations generate genuinely novel hypotheses.
• Design evaluation frameworks for agentic AI systems operating across neuroscience data modalities — assessing whether models can reason credibly across imaging, omics, and clinical evidence.
• Develop benchmarks using synthetic and real-world multi-modal datasets that probe AI co-scientist capabilities under realistic research conditions, testing for robustness, reproducibility, and alignment with expert-level biomedical reasoning.
• Serve as a neurodegeneration domain expert within the AI/ML team, ensuring that model outputs remain anchored to clinically relevant disease questions.
• Translate evaluation findings into actionable guidance for AI system development, bridging computational and experimental perspectives.
• Publish evaluation methodologies and findings in leading journals and conferences (e.g., AD/PD, AAIC, NeurIPS).
