At Joii, I am responsible for leading the planning and execution of research initiatives in the area of reproductive and women’s health. I contribute to establishing and maintaining relationships with external research partners, academic institutions, healthcare organizations and industry partners. I am a key contributor to cross-functional initiatives involving product development, marketing, and business development, to ensure that Joii's product and insights are grounded in science.My primary tasks include:- Leading the conceptualization, design and execution of internal and external research projects to a) support the development and validation of new health sensing capabilities that power Joii's health features and b) generating evidence to demonstrate the impact of Joii's products in improving health outcomes.-Conducting data analysis using Python and R to evaluate health outcomes and efficacy of digital health products for patient health and clinician adoption.- Establishing and managing research partnerships with academic organizations, healthcare institutions, commercial partners, and key opinion leaders to foster collaborative research initiatives.-Contributing to the development and implementation of Joii's scientific research strategy that is aligned with product strategy, business objectives, regulatory requirements, and industry best practices.-Collaborating with data scientists, project managers and developers to ensure successful operational execution of research projects and contribute scientific expertise to methodology, development, and data analysis.-Ensuring compliance with regulations, ethical guidelines, and data privacy requirements throughout the research process by working with data and medical device regulatory officers.-Funding acquisition by working with governmental and research bodies across the UK and Europe.

I am responsible for performing, conducting, and analyzing advanced preclinical data in preparation for the start-up phases of Clinical I and II trials. My primary tasks include:- Constructing clinical trial development plans alongside international regulators- Studying RWE and market analysis for sepsis therapeutics- Translating preclinical data results to in vivo work- Grant writing and funding sourcing- Providing expert opinions on research gaps- Managing projects concerning the clinical trial start-up phase- In vitro/ex vivo/in silico R&D for continuous drug studies (infection models, tissue culture, drug dosing, efficacy studies)- Understanding ICH GCP guidelines and ethics for the regulation of clinical trials- Writing SOPs and experimental study designs

During my PhD in infectious diseases, sepsis, and preclinical drug investigation, I gained significant experience and skills in: -Developing standard operating procedures and experimental design protocols-Regulatory work to write and submit invention disclosures and patents-Managing multiple interdisciplinary projects from conception to completion-Working in a COVID-19 consortium of 4 international research institutes-Leading researchers in designing projects, allocating resources, and providing expert opinion-In vitro and in silico experimental studies and execution, with a particular focus on data analysis, interpretation, and identification of knowledge gaps-Expert laboratory work, including molecular biological assays (ELISA, Western blot, flow cytometry), immunofluorescence microscopy, tissue culture (maintenance of primary-derived endothelial and immortalized respiratory/colon epithelial cells), infection assays and microbial work (SARS-CoV-2, Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli), and aseptic techniques-Presenting at national and international conferences/meetings-Communication, scientific writing, and publication
