I am the founder of Global Medical Research.org. Our group facilitates medical research within critical domains by encouraging international collaboration and collective intelligence building among medical researchers and computer scientists.
I am a Senior Web producer and visual designer for Soflex Online. I also am the Senior Web Producer for Nelson Publishing creating technical online communities for a variety of users including medical research labs, evaluation engineers, and health medical IT professionals. I also have provided technical consulting for Dr. Robert Thurman of Columbia University.
Throughout the years my work has covered a diverse range of applications: including online learning environments, B2B technical and marketing, medical research collaboration and large retail consumer sites.
