My passion for science started with my curiosity in chemistry and biochemistry in high school and pursued these interests as an undergraduate student and in the graduate school. For post-doctoral research, I choose a different path and focused attention to cancer biology and for almost a decade, I spent time in developing and characterizing transgenic mouse models of cancer. I enjoyed working on the scientific challenge of cancer development. After pursuing scientific research in the academia, in 2010, I transitioned to a biotech industry and for next three years, I learned the science and business of oncology drug development. In 2015, I shifted my career focus from scientific research to clinical research/regulatory affairs after earning masters in Biomedical regulatory affairs and certification in US FDA Regulatory affairs. Since 2017, I have also volunteered as a Board member at Fred Hutch Cancer research center’s IRB and currently work as Regulatory chair/vice chair based in the Puyallup/Seattle metro area.
