Eriko focuses her practice on digital health products and helps clients develop regulatory strategies and regulatory submissions to bring novel technologies to the market.
Eriko obtained her doctorate in biomedical engineering from the University of Arizona with a focus in medical imaging and radiology. In her post-doctoral positions, she combined her technical and project management skills to help transition preclinical research into clinical
