Kathryn L. Gann, Ph.D., Vice President of Scientific Development, Scientific Advantage, LLC, focuses on advancing the company�s core competencies by utilizing her expertise in Medical Science Liaison (MSL) Department Architecture and Alignment, MSL Training, and Customer Relationship Management. She is proficient in working with regulatory agencies and within regulatory guidelines.

Kathy has extensive pharmaceutical industry experience, having worked with Sanofi-Synthelabo Inc., as a Regional Director of MSLs and at Hoechst Marion Roussel (now sanofi-aventis) in a similar capacity. She also has experience working in the non-profit sector as the Director of the Rhode Island Association of Facilities and Services for the Aging (RIAFSA). This position allowed her to use her relationship management skills, as well as her years of volunteer work in nursing homes, to effect positive change for elderly residents of Rhode Island.

Kathy is married to Jonathan S. Reichner, PhD, whom she met when they were post-doctoral fellows at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. To this day, they think they are probably the only post-doctoral fellows from the Department of Biological Chemistry who can say that their wedding reception was hosted by their respective laboratories, and held in the departmental library. Jonathan is currently an Associate Professor of Surgical Research at Rhode Island Hospital/Brown University.

Kathy places a value on being involved in both her professional community and the larger community. She is adjunct faculty at the University Of Rhode Island College Of Pharmacy. Additionally, she is active in professional societies and charitable associations. Kathy credits her grandmother, mother, and aunt for instilling in her a passion for education, the confidence to follow her dreams, and the belief in �giving back.�
