Company: AnTolRx, Inc.
Job title: Senior Scientist
Bio:
I got my degree at Boston University in 2013. I then trained under Dr. Francisco Quintana at Brigham and Women’s Hospital for 3 and a half years where my work focused on understanding mechanisms of tolerogenic dendritic cell induction, regulation of innate immune cell activation in the central nervous system, and development of nanoparticle therapeutics. In 2016, when Dr. Quintana co-founded AnTolRx, I became its first employee. Since then, I have led 3 pre-clinical research programs aimed at validating AnTolRx’s antigen-specific platform to promote tolerance in autoimmune diseases including Type 1 Diabetes and Multiple Sclerosis.
