As a Principal Scientist & Investigator with a PhD in Genetics, I have dedicated my career to understanding the intricate mechanisms underlying genetic processes, with focus on:* cholesterol metabolism* endocrine systems* developmental biology* bone and cartilage physiologyWith over 13 years of experience in the field, I have developed a deep knowledge of genetic research, data analysis, and experimental design. I have worked on various projects, from investigating the genetic basis of rare diseases to developing new techniques for gene editing and preclinical models for drug discovery. My work has been published in top-tier scientific journals and has been presented at numerous international conferences.Here are some of my contributions:* Developed biomarker assays to study the pharmacodynamics of Phase I clinical candidates in collaboration with DAMIAN Pharma AG.* Identified novel therapeutic targets and biomarkers for metabolic syndrome, polycystic ovary syndrome, secondary hypertension, and dyslipidemia while analyzing and interpreting research data and communicating the research results to colleagues.* Generated pre-clinical data supporting therapeutic candidates for primary aldosteronism and adrenocortical carcinoma.In addition to my research, I am committed to mentorship and teaching. I have had the pleasure of training and supervising 3 graduate students and 3 postdoctoral fellows and have taught courses in genetics and molecular biology at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.I am currently doing research on a novel gene leading to a rare form of adrenal insufficiency at the University of Bern/University Hospital in Bern and have a contract through the end of the year. I am exploring new opportunities to further preclinical research and advance treatments and clinical trials, and I am open to relocate.Connect with me or email me at emanuele.pignatti@unibe.ch if you're looking for a Research Senior/Principal Scientist/Project Manager/Medical Science Liaison with a passion for driving development.Expertise: Project Management Skills, Research and Development (R&D), Laboratory Skills, Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), Biotechnology
