Our team

Anne-Marie Carbonell, MD
Founder, CEO & Chief Medical Officer

Dr. Carbonell received her MD from St. Louis University (AOA, 1st in class) and trained in neurosurgery at the Cleveland Clinic. Prior to OncoSynergy, she gained valuable experience at MicroVention®, where she led pivotal trials at 35 clinical sites ultimately leading to FDA approval of 2 intracranial stents for treatment of brain aneurysms. At OncoSynergy, she translated decades of bench work into a manufactured product and successfully led FDA approval for our lead indication, glioblastoma. Leveraging her unique dual perspective as a clinician and patient, Dr. Carbonell leads OncoSynergy’s Phase I trial at Moffitt Cancer Center. Dr. Carbonell’s goal is to keep OncoSynergy at the forefront of translational science, medicine, and technology. She does so in part through her role as Principal Investigator on 2 active NIH grants, through active involvement in the Society of Neuro-oncology, and as a Senior Healthcare & Pharmaceutical Advisor to Ever Network (a Digital Health Company).

Danelle Rolle-McFarland, PhD, MPH
Clinical Research Scientist

As Clinical Research Scientist, Dr. Rolle-McFarland oversees OncoSynergy’s Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Control (CMC) Program, ensuring a cohesive collaboration among our CROs and expert CMC consultant. Prior to OncoSynergy, she completed a 1-year postdoc in Cancer Epidemiology at Moffitt Cancer Center, our Phase I clinical trial site, making her a natural fit to our team and mission. Furthermore, she translated the foundation of her postdoc work into developing and launching OncoSynergy’s tissue biomarker program, enabling collection of valuable data not usually captured in a Phase I trial. Dr. Rolle-McFarland received her BA in Chemistry from the College of Saint Benedict and a PhD and MPH from Purdue University, with a focus on Epidemiology and Public Health. She also authored several peer-reviewed publications, with her most recent contribution at OncoSynergy entitled “Endpoint in Ovarian Cancer Xenograph Model Predicted by Nighttime Motion Metrics,” which has been published in Nature Lab Animal.
