Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFitz Sturgill is Head of Medicinal Neuroscience with over a decade of preclinical neuroscience experience bridging academic rigor and industry drug development. Trained at Harvard Medical School with postdoctoral work at UCSD and Cold Spring Harbor, he combines in vivo electrophysiology, EEG/fMRI biomarker translation, and molecular assays with practical AI/ML and data-science workflows in Python, R, and Matlab. Fitz has led cross-functional teams to de-risk therapeutic concepts, leverage real-world data for model generation, and secure funding while translating target engagement into trial-ready biomarkers. He excels at turning complex neurobiological mechanisms—ranging from synaptic pathology to stress-induced neuropathology—into executable preclinical programs and clinical strategies. Notably, he pairs hands-on lab techniques (AAV, RNAi, fluorescence assays) with reproducible code and tooling practices (GitHub, VS Code, Copilot) to accelerate translational impact.
