Cristina Ciurli is a Senior Research Programs Manager | Scientist | Partnership Builder at Genome Quebec. She possess expertise in biotechnology, project portfolio management, molecular biology, immunology, vaccines and 24 more skills. She is proficient in English. Colleagues describe her as "Cristina has been a great collaborator on a couple of bigger programs that we (AmorChem) invested in, namely the MiHA program of Claude Perreault et al., which received Genome Canada/Quebec funding over 4 years, as well as more recently, the RNA zipcodes program of Eric Lecuyer et al., which with our support was the recipient of a Genome Canada DIG II 3-year grant, to which AmorChem will co-invest $1.2M. Actually, it was Cristina who initially brought the zipcodes program to me, as a great fit for the AmorChem investment modeal, and we clearly agreed! She is the total professional who handled not only regular interactions with ourselves as investors, but also was responsible for the herding of a large number of diverse individuals from various locations in the world, for the Research Oversight Committee on the MiHA program. Coordinating such a group of high value individuals and keeping them all happy is no easy task, yet Cristina sailed through it and everyone in the program (including 4 program-leading MDs at Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital) was impressed with her administrative, budgetary, program management and people skills. I would readily recommend her for essentially any senior position in life science program management whether it be in academia, the biotech space, or in a life science funding agency, to name a few! "
