Gareth is an experienced biopharmaceutical R&D professional, drug hunter and global project lead with 10+ years of leadership in project/program management, portfolio governance and scientific strategy. He has a successful record of progressing complex, multi-million-dollar drug development programs through internal and external initiatives. He has furthered his practical experience in both Europe and the US, in clinical, pharmaceutical, VC and academic environments facilitating the preclinical -> clinical transition of novel medicinal products. Relevant former roles and institutions include Principal Investigator/Lecturer (Harvard Medical School & Boston Children’s Hospital), Fellow and Project Lead (Vertex Pharmaceuticals), Global Project Lead (Boehringer-Ingelheim) and Asset and Scientific Evolution Lead (invoX Pharma).
In his current role(s), he leads a dynamic cross-functional global team that pushes scientific and drug development boundaries, developing novel medicinal products and drug-device combinations (modality and indication agnostic), to meet unmet patient needs worldwide. He has a wealth of experience in establishing agile governance frameworks to oversee a diverse clinical and preclinical portfolio. Notably, he has extensive experience in translational biomarker strategies, indication expansions (repurposing), and effective tech-transfer for up-scale bioprocessing of biologics.
Overseeing a global team, Gareth has a proven track record in increasing pipeline visibility and executing external collaborations. He has bridged the gap between preclinical -> clinical, implementing novel ‘first-4-patient’ initiatives, such as 5’R research frameworks, relevant clinical biomarker strategies and optimising human dose prediction models to enhance the probability of success of medicinal products.
