After earning her master’s degree in human relations from New York Institute of Technology in 1994, Silverman began her career in clinical research by conducting psychometric assessments for Alzheimer’s disease. She is certified by the Association for Clinical Research Professionals and has organized industry-sponsored clinical trials for over 16 years in various therapeutic areas.
