“I had the distinct pleasure to work with Serene during our tenure in medical affairs at PTC Therapeutics. From the first day I met her, she distinguished herself as a no nonsense professional with an ability to identify critical tasks for success and a commitment to achieving results. She is a highly trained virologist with extensive knowledge in gene therapy and she uses this experience to develop best-in-class strategic plans, educate field medical and sales teams, and create relatable content for complex disease states and therapeutic interventions. Serene is approachable, level-headed, focused and gets the job done right the first time. She is adept at building and leading global teams and bringing cross-functional colleagues together in support of global initiatives. Whether it's a global medical affairs strategy or publication plan, scientific platform or clinical trial development, Serene is a multi-faceted and dynamic medical and scientific affairs professional with integrity and a commitment to excellence that would bring value to any organization of which she is a part.”
