Senior Enterprise Account Executive at Contentsquare

Published scientist whose curiosity led me from the lab to the runway, where I became the first Persian woman featured in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. Later, I pivoted into tech, and in a few short years became the leading enterprise AE at a Series A AI SaaS startup, often operating as a team of one, closing millions in revenue and helping drive its acquisition. At my core, I’m someone who loves a good story of reinvention - especially my own. I chase new frontiers, find the scrappiest way forward, and build things that challenge the status quo.

Peptidic inhibitors of insulin-degrading enzyme with potential for dermatological applications discovered via phage display

Insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) is an atypical zinc-metalloendopeptidase that hydrolyzes insulin and other intermediate-sized peptide hormones, many of which are implicated in skin health and wound healing. Pharmacological inhibitors of IDE administered internally have been shown to slow the breakdown of insulin and thereby potentiate insulin action. Given the importance of insulin and other IDE substrates for a variety of dermatological processes, pharmacological inhibitors of IDE suitable for topical applications would be expected to hold significant therapeutic and cosmetic potential. Existing IDE inhibitors, however, are prohibitively expensive, difficult to synthesize and of undetermined toxicity. Here we used phage display to discover novel peptidic inhibitors of IDE, which were subsequently characterized in vitro and in cell culture assays
