I was one of those kids that are always asking why. I still am. I’m a very curious person, with an endless thirst for learning, so I ended up becoming a scientist. A molecular biologist, to be more specific. That may sound complicated, but what I do is simple: I use scientific knowledge to solve problems and create solutions. I'm interested in how science can help tackle global problems and provide advice for policy-making. I’m also an animal lover who enjoys nature and is concerned about sustainability. Professionally, I consider myself lucky because I had the opportunity to do a lot of cool things:• I have 10+ years of R&D experience in the life science sector, during which I managed 7 projects, resulting in 4 publications that have more than 2900 downloads and more than 140 citations.• I am an excellent collaborator who loves teamwork, with deep expertise in molecular biology techniques, which allowed my team to make 40+ new discoveries and to establish 10 new successful collaborations.• I am an expert in information management and data interpretation, as evidenced by 3 sequencing projects that led to 35 new result figures and 10+ reports.• I have business acumen and deep experience in ROI driven projects in biotech industry, as shown by 5 business reports, and the development of 1 process that is used in industry.• I’m a skillful communicator, able to translate scientific information and adapt it to different audiences, as proved by 4 presentations in national and international conferences, and 50+ presentations and negotiations in internal and external meetings.• I’m a very good problem solver with critical thinking abilities, motivated by the creation of solutions and positive impact, as evidenced by the development of 20+ new and optimized methods in 5 different work environments.Thanks to the skills that my curiosity driven career has allowed me to acquire, I can research and develop new concepts, create fruitful collaborations, analyze complex data and extract meaning from it, as well as communicate with impact. This allows me to help businesses and organizations create solutions. And I plan to continue learning, progressing, and improving myself. If you are interested in science, creating solutions, or love animals, I invite you to connect!
