“I enthusiastically and wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Michael Sierra as a scientific and strategic leader in drug discovery and development. Dr. Sierra is a PhD medicinal chemist who has 30 years of successful, applied drug development experience in large Pharma, start-up Biotech and in innovation centers, in the U.S. and Europe. Dr. Sierra has extraordinary depth and breadth in understanding a wide array of legacy and novel modalities, ranging from small molecules to peptides to antibodies to newer cell based therapies. Mike is an excellent communicator, and rapidly earns and builds trust with his co-workers and collaborators. From working with him closely, it was clear to me that his former colleagues hold in high esteem, frequently deferring to him on complex technical questions, as well as strategic assessments. From working with Mike directly on Synkrino Bio's internal discovery and external development programs, I’ve watched him build trusting relationships, from the ground-up, with scientists, entrepreneurs and investors. He invests time and attention in understanding the science behind a platform or novel drug program. Then, applying his deep expertise he is able to quickly render these programs into actionable, rigorous development plans. Mike has brought multiple molecules to the clinic, and has the unique ability to position assets - be they early or mid-stage - for success. Mike Sierra is one of the finest individuals I’ve been privileged to work with, and I recommend him without reservation. Mike is patient yet decisive, creative and rigorous, trustworthy, level-headed, and day to day - is simply a delight to work with. Dr. Michael Sierra would be a great asset to your organization. Please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss Mike’s qualifications and approach to his work.”
