Physician-Scientist | Software/Biotech Founder | AI-Driven Drug Discovery & Translational Medicine

プロフィール概要

Physician-scientist and healthtech founder with deep experience spanning drug discovery, translational biology, AI/LLM-enabled discovery platforms, and clinical/regulatory strategy. I work at the intersection of computational biology, experimental validation, and commercialization, helping teams move from target hypothesis to de-risked assets. My work includes small-molecule discovery for neurodegenerative diseases, autophagy modulation, structure–activity optimization, ADMET prediction, and biomarker development, alongside clinical strategy, CMS/Medicare alignment, and human-in-the-loop AI systems for healthcare delivery. I have led and advised projects from pre-seed concept through IND-enabling work, partnerships, and exits. I am particularly effective in early-stage ambiguity: target selection, mechanism validation, molecule prioritization, platform architecture, and investor-ready narratives grounded in real biology.
