Background

About Iman A. Khan

A scientist by training and a communicator by passion, I thrive in ambitious, mission-driven and team-oriented environments that are working to transform human health. My long-term goal is to bridge the gap between innovative scientific research and real-world impact—especially in accelerating drug and biomarker discovery programs. I hold a PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology with several years of hands-on experience in molecular biology, cancer biology, and biomarker development. During my postdoctoral fellowship at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, I worked on developing cell-based assays for high-throughput genetic screening, gaining a deep understanding of functional genomics and biomarker pipelines. Seeking to broaden my impact beyond the lab, I transitioned into a client-facing role at Genedata, where I worked as a Scientific Account Manager and consultant. This role exposed me to the early stages of drug discovery, where I supported leading pharma and biotech companies optimize their HTS workflows, data analysis, and automation strategies. It also gave me firsthand exposure to the business considerations driving scientific decision-making—an experience that inspired me to pursue more strategic roles within the life sciences industry. Today, I’m looking to grow into roles where I can combine my scientific expertise, communication skills, and strategic mindset—whether in Medical Affairs (MSL), Business Development, or Technical Sales. I’m especially passionate about working in spaces like oncology, immunotherapy, and cell and gene therapy, where innovation can directly improve patient outcomes. If you're building teams at the intersection of science and strategy—I’d love to connect.
