Preclinical Surgeon

With over 15 years of hands-on preclinical surgical experience, I deliver expert-level surgical support for in vivo studies across a broad range of therapeutic areas. I specialize in CNS drug delivery in nonhuman primates, offering advanced techniques including intrathecal (IT) catheterization, intracerebroventricular (ICV) port placement, and intracisterna magna (ICM) delivery — enabling precise, reproducible dosing to the central nervous system for biologics, gene therapies, and small molecules.
Beyond CNS, my surgical capabilities encompass a wide range of abdominal procedures including catheter implantation, organ biopsy, and device placement to support pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and toxicology study designs. I bring the precision and consistency that sponsors require to generate high-quality, regulatory-ready data.
My approach combines deep anatomical knowledge with meticulous surgical technique, minimizing variability and maximizing animal welfare outcomes. Whether your program requires a single specialized procedure or full surgical support across a multi-arm study, I work closely with study directors and sponsors to tailor protocols that align with your scientific objectives and regulatory requirements.
