Jared is a Clinical Associate Professor in the Clinical Research Program at UNC Wilmington since 2014. The focus of my career is improving people’s health through innovation. His teaching focuses on project management, regulatory affairs, intellectual property, scientific writing, data analytics, and visualization. Jared's academic scholarly work has focused on competency-based training assessment, simulation-based applied learning, and workforce development.
Jared's education includes a B.S. in microbiology from Auburn University, an M.P.H. in international health-epidemiology from Emory University, a J.D. from Cumberland School of Law, Samford University, and a certificate in life sciences entrepreneurship from the University of Alabama-Birmingham.
Prior to working at UNCW, Jared spent over 20 years in diverse roles in the biopharmaceutical industry, contract research organizations (CROs), academia, and state and federal government agencies. He has held roles in pharmaceutical research and development, project management, legal and scientific research through all phases of clinical research and global markets. After graduate school and completion of an ORISE fellowship with the CDC, he pivoted from basic research into drug development and clinical research at Eli Lilly and Co., an Indianapolis, Indiana-based biopharmaceutical company.
During his 10 years at Lilly, he worked primarily in project management on chemical and biological medicines to treat such conditions as mental illness, diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and inflammation. During his legal studies, Jared was able to assist with the law school's Center for Biotechnology, Law, and Ethics as a research fellow and work with the Alabama Department of Public Health's Office of the General Counsel. Upon moving to Wilmington, he worked for PPD in the Site Intelligence and Activation organization as the head of the global site contracts, budgets, and payments department. These experiences and more have shaped a vision of the framework, people, resources, and tools available to help make an impact on health.
