WORK EXPERIENCE
GenomeWeb, New York - 2006 to present
June 2019-Present - Managing Editor
Precision Oncology News/Precision Medicine Online
I led the launch a news site dedicated to exploring how genomics is changing and challenging cancer care, and then, in 2023, expanded the scope of the publication to all disease areas. I worked with our CEO and editor-in-chief to develop the editorial scope and direction of the publication, conceived new projects and story-telling methods, and built an editorial team. I currently manage a dedicated staff of reporters who cover the research advances, access challenges, and policy issues impacting the field of precision medicine. I assign, shape, and edit their stories. I also contribute long-form investigative features on trends and controversies in the space.
2014-2019 – Senior Editor – I conceived and wrote in-depth, investigative features on how genomics advances were impacting patients, physicians, and the healthcare system. In doing so, I pushed GenomeWeb's coverage into new areas that eventually led to the launch of a new sister publication, called Precision Oncology News. My articles, particularly those on regulation, reimbursement, and litigation, are widely cited in peer-reviewed journals and have spurred discussion at conferences.
October 2006-2014 – Editor – I produced a weekly newsletter on the treatments and genomic tests used to individualize healthcare for patients. The newsletter contained three multi-sourced features and smaller news items on the R&D, marketing, regulation, reimbursement, and legislation affecting the field of personalized/genomic medicine. In producing this newsletter every week, I learned to balance covering breaking news and writing features on a daily and weekly deadline, and I developed key sources in industry, academia, and government.
2005-2006 – The Pink Sheet, Reed Elsevier, Washington DC
Reporter -- Wrote daily breaking stories and weekly analytical features on market trends, regulation, and biotech R&D advances.
RELEVANT SKILLS
Journalism
I am broadly qualified as a healthcare and life sciences reporter. I specialize in covering precision medicine and genomic testing and these beats: consumer access; lawsuits; regulation; reimbursement; legislation & policy; ethics; drug & diagnostic development; and business trends. I have also freelanced at Science Friday, Genome Magazine, Al Jazeera, and more.
