As US medical lead for the NXY-059 program I worked with Allyson on multiple occasions.We did both international and domestic meetings for the NXY-059 programs which was a global program with 32 countriesinvolved. Her organizational and problem solving skills were evident at those events and I knew as long as she was part ofthe ADH team, it had to be a good company.
