Since earning my Ph.D. in physics in 1992, I have used computer simulation and modeling in a wide variety of scientific/medical problems.

Co-Founder, Chairman | I am the Co-Founder with Ben and Jeff and Chairman of PatientsLikeMe. and the Founder and Former CEO of the ALS Therapy Development Institute. Since Stephens (alsking101) diagnosis in 1998, we have learned so much about what patients need to know. We hope to help patients share their knowledge with others. PatientsLikeMe and ALS TDI come from the concept of wanting to find answers for todays patients. |

Health Data Integrity Manager | I joined the team in May '08 as Health Data Integrity Manager. It's my job to be sure that information entered by patients is accurately captured in our databases. This is important for many reasons, not the least of which is the need to be good stewards of the data entrusted to us by the patients who use our site. I've been a nurse for many years spending much of my career working with people living with the daily challenges of serious & advancing illnesses. My husband Scott and I have two wonderful daughters, a great son-in-law and in April 2010 we'll welcome our first grandchild! |

Research Scientist | I joined PatientsLikeMe as a researcher because of my commitment to helping people take control over their healthcare decisions and personal wellbeing. My background is in media and psychology. As a graduate student at the MIT Media Lab, I built tools for people with diabetes to document and discuss personal health practice that impacts health outcomes. After receiving my degree, I did a post-doctoral fellowship in behavioral sciences and technology at Boston Medical Center. I feel lucky to have found PatientsLikeMe, a group and effort so close to my heart and passion. |

rbradley Richard Bradley |
Pharmacovigilance Manager | I began working for PLM in August 09. I left the Pharmaceutical Industry after 8 years, working in drug safety for clinical trials and post-marketed drug event reporting. Prior to that I spent a little over 25 years providing health care to Navy and Marine Corps personnel in various roles as a Navy Hospital Corpsman and later a Navy Nurse. I look forward to my new role making sure the invaluable experiences, involving drug treatments and the adverse experiences that are shared get reported to the manufacturers and authorities to help create safer, more effective products. |
