I have a strong academic background in cell and molecular biology, medical microbiology, and business management, with experience in both academia and industry. My expertise lies in Biologics Analytics, particularly in bioassays, where I focus on developing and validating ELISA, cell-based, and molecular/kinetic assays. I utilize a wide range of technologies, including analytical chemistry, molecular biology, biotechnology, and immunology, for preclinical and clinical development. Having worked in R&D and cGMP settings, I am well-versed in ICH, FDA, and EMA guidelines. My research interests include immunotherapy, analytical sciences, cancer biology, and infectious diseases. Besides science, I am passionate about business and gardening, and I enjoy problem-solving as a core aspect of my work. Science, next to family and friends, is the biggest part of my life, fueling my dedication as a scientist.
