I started Smith BioAdvisory to help biotech teams move great science from possibility to plans and data. I’m an immuno‑engineer by training with deep experience in immunology, cytokine‑armored cell therapies (IL‑12/IL‑15), and drug delivery (liposomes, hydrogels, intratumoral, intravesical). I love bridging disciplines and teams to enable clear communication and decision making.

I’ll meet you where you are—then help you get where you’re going with clarity, alignment, and less risk.
