I’m a passionate scientist fueled by a love for uncovering the mysteries of the human body, especially the cellular and molecular mechanisms that drive chronic diseases, cancer, and autoimmune conditions. With over six years of hands-on experience in biomedical science, spanning molecular and cell biology, toxicology, and bioinformatics, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside a dynamic, multidisciplinary team, sharpening my skills in problem-solving, leadership, time management, and scientific communication. I thrive on challenges that push me to grow, and I’m always excited about the next breakthrough.In my experience as a postdoc, I focused on finding biomarkers and novel therapeutic targets to slow or halt the progression of chronic liver diseases, like MAFLD. This journey has been a mix of learning and discovery, as I’ve expanded my expertise to include techniques like organoids and extracellular vesicle analysis, powerful tools for exploring disease progression in liver and beyond. I’m driven to develop solutions with real-world impact, knowing each finding could be a game-changer for countless lives.And now, in my latest adventure, I’ve joined Johnson & Johnson as a scientist working on cell and gene therapies. Here, I’ve found a new fascination with the incredible potential of microorganisms as tools to fight diseases, from cancer to rare genetic disorders. I’m learning the ins and outs of CAR-T cells, uncovering the complexities of immune cells, and discovering just how powerful viral vectors can be for delivering information with precision. Although these technologies are still emerging, I’m thrilled to be part of their advancement and can’t wait to tackle the next challenge they bring my way.If you’re interested in connecting, I’d love to chat and share ideas, or geek out over the endless possibilities in science!
