1

AstraZeneca & Johns Hopkins National Healthcare Case Competition

Prompt Develop a go-to-market strategy for a novel oncology treatment requiring routine ctDNA monitoring, shifting physician behaviour toward regular molecular testing.

Core Contributions

Stakeholder Research

Led discovery with oncologists, patient advocacy leaders, and potential diagnostic partners to map friction between clinical innovation, reimbursement, and everyday workflow.

Landscape & Workflow Analysis

Synthesized clinical, operational, and legal constraints to design a GTM approach that could plug into existing hospital pathways without adding cognitive load or admin burden.

Outcome

Advanced through initial screening (essay + application) as 1 of 12 teams from 72 → delivered GTM recommendations to AstraZeneca leadership panel.

2

University of Pennsylvania Healthcare Case Competition

Prompt Recommend a new indication for an inhaled drug delivery platform that offers the strongest combined scientific and commercial rationale.

Core Contributions

Competitive & Indication Landscape

Led analysis of target diseases and competitors to identify spaces where inhaled delivery could create meaningful clinical differentiation.

Cross-Functional Synthesis

Worked closely with scientists, business students, and legal experts to balance efficacy data, IP risks, and market access considerations.

Outcome

Co-developed and pitched a focused indication strategy to the sponsoring company, highlighting a clear path from mechanism of action → clinical value → payer story.

3

Gilead Clinical Trials Case Competition

Prompt Recommend an initial set of clinical trial sites in Africa for a tuberculosis study, balancing feasibility, data quality, and equity.

Core Contributions

Site Selection Criteria Design

Defined and weighted criteria such as historical enrollment, lab capacity, data quality, and regional TB burden to move beyond "convenience" site selection.

Decision-Support Dashboard

Built an interactive dashboard enabling clinical operations teams to compare candidate sites and simulate different weighting scenarios.

Outcome

Delivered a ranked site shortlist and decision tool that made trade-offs transparent, positioning the recommendation as an operational asset rather than a static slide.

4

Cleveland Clinic Digital Health & AI Case Competition

Prompt Propose two digital health / AI solutions for Cleveland Clinic that improve both physician experience and patient outcomes, including build-vs-buy recommendations.

Core Contributions

Digital Health Landscape Scan

Researched existing tools, internal capabilities, and integration constraints to shortlist viable solution spaces.

Evaluation Framework & Storytelling

Designed a criteria matrix (impact, adoption risk, integration effort) and led slide development to clearly argue build vs. buy for each concept.

Outcome

Presented two implementation-ready concepts with explicit trade-offs and risk mitigations.
