Professional Accomplishments

Built a diverse portfolio of advanced biotechnology R&D of approximately $90M per year, which exceeds the portfolio size of the average DARPA program manager by 350%.

Over four years, conceived and established 5 high impact biotechnology programs with program budgets between $15M and $75M.  Aligned leading performers from industry, academia and government into highly functional interdisciplinary teams that exceeded extremely aggressive performance metrics. Managed components of an additional 7 research programs of similar scope that led to basic scientific discovery as well as innovative technology application. Engaged elite S&T and user communities to develop and successfully transition technologies. Briefed high impact programs to federal leadership up to the Cabinet level. Recognized for contributions that prompted the start of the Biologic Technology Office, the first DARPA office focused on biotechnology.

Developed a collaborative and productive relationship with the FDA that facilitated selection of DARPA technologies for streamlined regulatory approval within FDA Innovation pathways. Cultivated FDA relationships and active participation in program source selections, external advisory boards, bi-weekly telecons, ad hoc regulatory meetings, and quarterly program review meetings. Contributed to the development of an FDA secure social networking website that decreased time, effort and risk associated with regulatory approval of program technologies by approximately 65%.

Established a program to develop a man-portable device that cleans blood of pathogens, inflammatory mediators and toxins. Developed component technologies and designed an integrated device for the treatment of sepsis, an overwhelming infection that results in the loss of 200,000 American lives and $20B annually. In two years, demonstrated effective removal of a broad range of pathogens from blood including the top 15 bacteria responsible for over 95% of sepsis. Demonstrated an 80% decrease in mortality with treatment of infected animals. Removed greater than 90% of multiple viruses from blood including Ebola, influenza, and HIV. Facilitated selection and development of the integrated device within the FDA Medical Counter Measure Innovation Pathway and on target to transition an FDA IDE approved device into clinical trials at the end of this program.

Established a program to develop safe, biocompatible nanoplatforms that enable revolutionary in vivo diagnostics as well as targeted delivery of biologic therapeutics. Selected and aligned world class teams from academia and industry. Developed an implantable nanosensor "tattoo" that detects small oligonucleotides an animal produces when infected by a virus. In less than one year, developed inverse molecular sentinels that identified specific oligonucleotides at 1 nanomolar concentration in complex biologic fluids.

Developed modular therapeutic nanotechnologies that permit flexible targeting of tissues for improved treatment of diseases such as antibiotic resistant bacterial infection, post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury.  Used in vivo phage screening to discover novel central nervous system targeting peptides that resulted in a 30-fold increase in nanoparticle delivery to the mouse hippocampus. Demonstrated isoform specific knockdown of cognitive regulators, and achieved persistent epigenetic reprogramming of nerve cells in the adult mouse brain. Facilitated selection of these nanotechnologies for development and regulatory approval within the FDA Innovation Pathway.

Achieved excellence in surgical care, research and education. Promoted to Professor of Surgery and Biomedical Engineering and awarded tenure at the University of Cincinnati. Raised $4M in extramural funding to design, build and lead the Center for Surgical Innovation. Brought expert surgeons, designers, engineers, and industry collaborators to the Center to develop new surgical devices and procedures. Established the Johnson & Johnson Ethicon Endo-Surgery Device Fellowship, a two-year cooperative research fellowship that educated University of Cincinnati surgical residents within Ethicon Endo-Surgery's international headquarters.

Facilitated development of surgical robotic and telemedicine technologies that are widely used in surgical training and care.
