Nominator's thoughts on what would make this nominee a valuable member of a future Trump Unity Government
1) Is Competent as I received my Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from
Emory University and trained and served in multiple well-established institutions and companies. I have used this training to support the goals of driving clinical expansion and uptake of biotechnology in the health sector. I have over 2 decades of research, translational, and clinical experience with over 18 years of oncology-focused research and 11 years of industry experience concentrated on precision diagnostics and medicine.
2) Is Honest as I regularly oversee proper data reporting and have in the past put my career and positions in the cross hairs due to ethical dilemma/COIs.
3) Is Respectful as I have worked cross functionally for years within my companies and drive external collaborations with dozens of clinical sites to ensure expansion of precision medicine using best practices and driving regulatory and clinical acceptance of novel, leading-edge strategies.
4) Has Integrity as I have been in a position on several occasions to stand my ground in light of potential position/job loss due to a difference of opinion in what is right vs wrong when it has come to both research and personal ethics.
5) Has Courage in defining 1) what can and 2) what should be done to improve health. The most critical question scientists need to ask themselves, just because we can, should we? This defines the intersection of intelligence and morality/ethics and finding that balance is critical for the greater good. In my early training, I was taught that being the dissenting voice in the room is what positive change requires.
6) Has a Proven Record of management, collaboration, peer reviewed publications, public speaking, committee representation, listening when it's time to gain insight/alignment and speaking when it's time to present an alternative theory.
