MSc in Biochemistry and Biotechnology Engineer with extensive experience in cell culture (8+years), management (3+years), bioprocess, recombinant protein production, and molecular biology. Successful in designing, developing, and leading in-depth research projects. My passion comes from the generation of new ideas and devising feasible solutions to real-life problems, but my motor is the diversity of the experience. Scientist | R&D | Innovation Email: ing.martha.hidalgo@gmail.comAs a qualified scientist, I worked in both industry and academia, in the production of recombinant proteins. bioprocess and molecular biology. However, I obtained hands-on training in multiple experimental techniques, making me a highly versatile professional.As an educator, I developed my soft skills such as empathy, resilience and learned to keep open-minded to new outcomes and proposals. I possess training in didactic techniques such as PBS and collaborative learning, which can be easily transferred into any other field.My current post as an innovation analyst gives me a different perspective on the interaction between industry and academia works to develop new products, as well as the ability to work with multidisciplinary and multicultural teams.CORE COMPETENCIES*Cell culture (BL2 laboratory, GLP)*Bioprocess (wave, stirred tanks)*Molecular biology (qPCR, plasmid extraction, RNA isolation)*Upstream & downstream analytics (HPLC, ELISA)*Production of recombinant proteins (MAbs, IFN)*Management & coaching with empathy people from diverse cultural and age backgrounds. *Science communication (WordPress, SOP)ACCOMPLISHMENTS*Increased 20% the productivity of therapeutic proteins (Mab/EPO/IFN) by optimizing 30 L bioreactor cultures for the R&D department of the pharma industry.*Skill as a scientific advisor organizing, directing, and participating in several research projects. One of which participated in a national congress (SMBB 2013), and another one in an international one (IGARSS, Germany 2012).*Experience in the development of career sales strategies adjusting the student profiles with the institution's perspectives. As a result, I recruited 85% of the 2012 generation two months before the forecasted time.
