“As a hematologist who has cared for individuals with bleeding disorders, I witnessed many of the challenges they faced in their personal journey. As an innovator thinking about how science can impact and elevate the trajectories of their lives, I hope to bring my experience to enable people living with VWD to feel what it is like to not have bleeding dictate what they can or cannot do, and to become the version of themselves they always had the potential to achieve.”

“VWD shows how exquisitely well-integrated all the processes for stopping blood loss are. Coming up with a new treatment for VWD is a unique challenge that draws on all the knowledge and experience I’ve accumulated over 15 years in drug development in bleeding disorders. It’s an exciting endeavor to look for solutions to bleeding disorders that have insufficient treatment options and know that our science has the potential to make a difference in people’s lives.”
