Capricor Therapeutics, Inc. (Remote)

Clinical Data Management Intern

Mar 2026 – Present

  • Automated multi-source Python pipelines to reconcile adverse events against concomitant medications and clinical procedures for a Phase II/III muscular dystrophy trial, integrated into a team-wide CDM dashboard with audit-ready Excel outputs deployed on AWS EC2 with Microsoft Entra ID authentication.
  • Proposed a statistical analysis plan (SAP) per ICH E9, specifying MMRM as the primary analysis for repeated-measures endpoints and multiple imputation under MAR as a sensitivity analysis for intercurrent events.
  • Used SAS Enterprise Guide and SQL to analyze immunogenicity vs. IP safety/efficacy using HLA typing and DSA data; built an interactive Python/Streamlit dashboard for trial-wide and patient-level exploration.
Friends Café (New Brunswick, NJ)

Data Analyst

June 2025 – Mar 2026

  • Analyzed transaction-level sales data to identify revenue-driving products, peak demand times, and ingredient trends.
  • Built ARIMA and XGBoost forecasting models to predict daily revenue and item demand (evaluated via MAE/RMSE).
  • Developed an interactive Power BI dashboard for business insights and reporting.
