Howdy, I'm Elizabeth! I work at the intersections of where AI meets biomedicine and where strategy meets communications. I'm interested in the responsible deployment of biomedical deep learning models to improve drug development and leveraging educational comms to help people understand complex concepts.
Identify and deploy deep learning approaches to improve patient selection, target discovery, and mechanism-of-action and response characterization for emerging cancer therapies.
Lead deployment of AI solutions to improve efficiencies and ways of working across Translational Medicine.
Upskill wet lab and clinical scientists on emerging AI tools for biomedical applications.
Liaised between AI research and oncology teams, managing 10+ cross-functional projects to translate state-of-the-art deep learning methods into biomarker and drug development applications.
Drove publication and conference strategy, co-authoring and structuring four manuscripts on novel model development published in Cancer Cell, Nature Communications, and NPJ Precision Medicine, and a fifth submitted to Cancer Cell (under review) — all within one year.
Led company-wide AI upskilling initiatives, including a weekly seminar series (~120 attendees) hosting speakers from academic labs and startups working at the intersection of AI and biomedicine.
Partnered with corporate communications, media relations, and internal communications to align ongoing AI research with broader R&D initiatives.
Developed and executed strategic communications plans across digital, print, and social channels to optimize undergraduate recruitment. Produced live-stream broadcasts and presentations to hundreds of prospective students and families. Managed and mentored ~15 content creators for mitadmissions.org.
Partnered across the institute to help develop the first redesign of mit.edu in decades.
Designed and led global training programs for ~70 educators using an original online platform for facilitating communities of online learning. Presented research on technology-enabled learning at the American Educational Research Association and Connected Learning Summit.
Created and oversaw production of six original STEM outreach web series — driving a 13× increase in views, 20× increase in shares, and shifting female viewership from 17% to 44%. Directed remote and in-person production teams and established a media fellowship for MIT undergraduates.
Designed and taught MIT courses on translating complex scientific concepts for non-technical audiences, public speaking, and media production.
Produced National Geographic's first original hosted web series, setting company records for audience retention. Co-led production teams and built editorial calendars to ensure rigorous adherence to deadlines.
Created and led training programs to upskill internal teams on digital media communications strategies.
