Ms. Peterson worked to obtain government grants and cooperative agreements (10’s of millions) and private investor funding (10’s of millions) for conducting research that led to product commercialization, her company merging with a Pfizer subsidiary, and contracts with multiple biotech companies (100s of millions). Before starting her own company in 2017, she managed projects in pharmaceutical, private, start-up, non-profit, and government areas. Her background includes human and animal studies (preclinical development plans, clinical trials), novel drug (cancer, non-opioid pain therapies, diabetes, neurodegeneration, viral, bacterial, others), biomarker, medical device, and military sensor discovery, prototyping, patenting, and development through regulatory approvals and sales.
