I'm excited to join the PatientsLikeMe team to help ensure that our research efforts will benefit people across society, specifically by learning from your real-world experiences to solve public health challenges. Previously, I spent six years working on cutting-edge research and development in biology, medicine, and neuroscience at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). I look forward to working with the team and the PatientsLikeMe community to keep us moving toward improved health and access to appropriate care for all.
