About Marie Gabrielle

I am a physician specializing in Internal Medicine with 20 years of clinical practice. My professional expertise lies in the "translational bridge"—the ability to convert complex laboratory measurements into meaningful clinical, safety, and regulatory decisions. As an International Regular Member of the American Society of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (ASPET), I provide an elite, end-to-end perspective on the entire drug development lifecycle.

The Foundation: Laboratory Science & Clinical Investigation

My career began in the lab as a Medical Technologist during the transition from manual to automated chemistry, which trained me to understand the technical nuances of pre-analytical and analytical variability.

I have served as a Clinical Investigator and Sub-investigator for Phase I–III studies with global leaders including SNBL INA Research Japan, Menarini, and Novartis AG. My core industry expertise is in Clinical Pharmacology and PK/PD, where I have managed:
  • Early-Phase Diagnostics: Proof-of-concept metabolic studies (e.g., 1,5-anhydroglucitol).
  • Safety Assessment: Thorough QT/QTc exposure–response studies correlating ECG findings with plasma drug concentrations.
  • PK Characterization: Randomized crossover studies determining Cmax, Tmax, AUC, and clearance.

Data-Driven Clinical Strategy & Authorship

I bridge the gap between medicine and tech with a Postgraduate Diploma in Computer Applications specializing in Biostatistics and am currently completing HarvardX’s Professional Certificate in Data Science. This allows me to design protocols and CRFs that are optimized for biostatistical analysis and real-world evidence.

I am also a published author of two textbooks used in Philippine universities: Pharmacology for Allied Health Professions and Essentials of Medical Terminology. My research on phthalate esters as endocrine disruptors was published in the inaugural edition of the Philippine Journal of Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology.
