She is responsible for all clinical, regulatory, pharmacovigilance and development project management functions at the Company.

Board-certified in neurology, Nancy was previously an assistant clinical professor of neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School.

You can read about her accomplishments on the Millennium corporate website. Speaking of Millennium, they currently have 3 physicians on their senior management team: 

1. Deborah Dunsire, M.D., President & CEO
2. Christophe Bianchi, M.D., Executive Vice President
