Director 
Novartis

As a Director of Discovery Biology in the Chemical Biology and Therapeutics group of Novartis Biomedical Research Institute, Christy is responsible for leading a multidisciplinary team of scientists who contribute to early drug discovery. She provides portfolio-wide leadership to identify and prioritize proprietary therapeutic targets and validate their functional link to disease phenotypes with an emphasis on actively identifying synergies across therapeutic areas.
 
Christy is an accomplished scientist and biopharmaceutical professional with 14 years of experience and a track record in leading complex programs in both small molecules and biologics. She is currently a member of a team progressing one of these small molecules into early clinical trials for cancer treatment. As a member of the department’s global leadership team, she contributes to identification and execution of strategic priorities, talent development, and evolution of culture.
 
Christy is most proud of her accomplishments in mentoring, developing and empowering a diversity of talent at Novartis. Christy received her doctoral degree from Western University (London, Canada) studying gene regulation. Outside of work, Christy loves spending time with her husband, two teenage children, and extended family. She enjoys reading, gardening, and spending time at the lake.
