Background

About Sonia Joseph

I am a scientist with nearly a decade of experience in early drug discovery, where I’ve advanced programs in Oncology, Nephrology, Cardiology, and Virology. My work has ranged from designing high-throughput assays and 3D disease models to tackling notoriously “difficult-to-purify” proteins — efforts that have supported both internal pipelines and pharma-partnered programs.Along the way, I’ve seen how scientific breakthroughs succeed or stall depending not just on data, but on strategy, timing, and collaboration. I’ve helped set up new workflows in fast-growing biotech settings, coordinated with CROs and international teams, and contributed to decisions that shaped the direction of discovery projects.I’m now looking to bring this mix of scientific depth and strategic perspective into roles that sit closer to decision-making — whether that’s guiding programs as a manager, advising through consulting, or evaluating opportunities in venture capital. What excites me most is identifying promising science and translating it into real-world impact.
