Dr. Michael Barnett graduated Phi Beta Kappa from University of Pennsylvania with a double major in history and biochemistry. He went on to earn a DPhil from Oxford, followed by an MD from Penn. He didn’t follow the typical pre-med path, and when you know him, that makes perfect sense. Michael is that very rare person whose vision and ideas come from a unique and comprehensive skill set. As a physician and scientist, Michael communicates the intricacies of medicine and therapeutics. As a marketer, he leverages data and deep insights to deliver market-shaping programs for Ardelis Health clients.

For more than 25 years, Michael has applied his training as a physician, scientist, and marketer to design innovative initiatives that impact public health. He has worked with emerging and major pharmaceutical firms on marketing strategy, thought leader development, and the launch of important niche products and paradigm-shifting drugs such as GLIVEC/GLEEVEC. He has participated in the evaluation of emerging therapeutics and technologies, and he has worked in healthcare administration, reviewing the quality and delivery of inpatient healthcare services.

An otolaryngologist by training, Michael has expertise in a broad range of therapeutic areas. With his characteristic humor, combined with a breadth of experience, Michael is adept at gathering stakeholders and uncovering key insights that help clients achieve success.
