Resume Scientist 10-1

April 23, 2018

Alex Gorsky
Chairman, Board of Directors
Johnson & Johnson Corporation
One Johnson & Johnson Plaza
New Brunswick, NJ 08933

Dear Dr. Gorsky:

As a professional with nearly ten years’ experience in clinical research, I am writing to express my interest in obtaining a position at Johnson & Johnson starting April 2019. My background covers academic, teaching, clinical, and research experience.

I am a graduate of U.S. Career Institute’s medical coding specialist certificate programs in 2013 and 2019 and have training in ICD-10-CM Basics from U.S. Career Institute. I have completed a 4Med CICP certification program in ICD-10-CM from 4Med Plus. I have eight medical coding certifications in the medical coding field, including a CPC, CANPC in anesthesia and pain management coding, CCVTC in cardiovascular and thoracic surgery coding, CEDC in emergency department, RMC, and am ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS proficient, and have a CCS-P Badge from AHIMA. I am a CANPC/CCVTC coding lecturer for American Academy of Professional Coders, Southwest University, and previously TXHIMA. In addition, I was an HIM Coder for Mesa Hills Specialty Hospital based in El Paso, TX who has given me an excellent reference and recommendation letter. In addition, I have medical training in medicine, anesthesiology, and cardiovascular and thoracic surgery which can be a good complement in a medical training and medical research program.

I am a graduate of NAPSRX’s Pharmacology and Pharmaceutical Sales Training Program, passing a standardized national exam and becoming a Certified National Pharmaceutical Representative (CNPR). Covered topics include clinical pharmacology, drug distribution, package insert information, drug patents, preclinical studies, clinical trials, biopharmaceutical drug development, therapeutic agents, pharmaceutical terminology, pharmaceutical marketing, ethical and regulatory guidelines, pharmaceutical sales techniques, making the most of your sales calls, and pharmaceutical terminology.

I have an M.D. and Ph.D. with basic and clinical science research experience in variety of fields including human studies, clinical animal models in ultraviolet radiation-induced cataract, and teaching in ophthalmology. Specifically, I have worked in human study coordination, blood processing for chemical analysis, animal models of the guinea pig, chemicals preparation, ultrafiltration, high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet radiation detection. I have knowledge of genetics, ophthalmology, applied optics, lens, corneal, retinal anatomy and physiology, and oculoplastics. Additionally, I have taught optometry, lens anatomy and physiology courses at Karolinska Institutet to graduate students for five years. I hold the certification Licentiate degree.

My M.D. was earned from Emory University followed by one year medical training at Yale University and Brown University. After that I decided to pursue research as that better served my aptitude and interest. I completed Ph.D. for clinical science in ophthalmology from Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden. My research publications include 56 papers and 100 abstracts. My project ascorbate prevention of the ultraviolet radiation-induced cataract in an in vivo animal model will contribute to the future of the pharmaceutical industry and lead to the development of new ocular medications and high-tech innovations. During the project, I developed a pioneering method for Ascorbate measurement in lens tissue samples, utilizing homogenization in metaphosphoric acid, ultrafiltration, and high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection. The method can be applicable to Ascorbate measurement in other tissues, including lens, retina, cornea, and vitreous humor. I plan to obtain the grant for Pharmacodynamics of ascorbate in the ocular lens as part of a human clinical trial. It can in addition be applied to other tissues, possibly cardiac, skeletal muscle, blood, lungs, and kidney. The work that I performed at Karolinska Institutet was pre-clinical research in a guinea pig cataract in vivo model. You will find my academic and research experience potentially a valuable asset to Johnson & Johnson.

At Brown University/Lifespan in Department of surgery I studied arginase activity in mouse peritoneal macrophages in a surgical model of wound healing. The work is related to the surgical field. It counts as basic science research experience.

I have significant research experience from my earlier training at Vanderbilt University and Emory University School of Medicine. Basic science research required for the beginning of pre-clinical research was studied. At Vanderbilt University, I spent one year doing an honors Molecular biology research project on the mitochondrial megachannel, a protein in heart muscle cells which plays a significant role in reperfusion injury. I found after experimenting with cyclosporin A binding to the mitochondrial megachannel and by utilizing cellulose filtration that the mitochondrial megachannel is made up of more than one subunit. The mitochondrial megachannel’s activity was determined and reproduced after separating the subunits and reconstituting the subunits. The significance of the results was that the mitochondria play a critical role in cardiac reperfusion injury. I earned High honors in molecular biology for the one-year honors project. At Emory University School of Medicine I studied ligand binding properties of the interphotoreceptor retinoid binding protein (IRBP), finding that IRBP binds retinol analogues with high affinity, playing a role in the visual cycle. In the Departments of ophthalmology and biochemistry at Emory University School of Medicine, in a clinical study on 120 human volunteers in the general population as part of controls for the AREDS study, I found that Plasma cystine increases with age in humans in a published ARVO abstract (1997). The significance of the results was that REDOX balance shifts towards oxidation with age. Antioxidants including cysteine, homocysteine, and glutathione become oxidized with age due to age-related oxidative stress in a number of conditions such as age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, and cardiovascular disease. The clinical study served as part of controls for AREDS study. I feel that I will be of high value to Johnson & Johnson.
