Profile Summary

Biochemist with a PhD (UFPR/Universität Tübingen) and 10+ years at the intersection of biotechnology R&D, regulatory affairs, and quality management. Currently leading technological development of biotechnological inputs at IBMP, a nonprofit research institute in Brazil focused on IVD and biopharmaceuticals. My day-to-day work spans the full product development pipeline — from early-stage research (recombinant proteins, nucleic acid synthesis, antibody development) through regulatory submissions (ANVISA) and quality system documentation aligned with ISO 13485 and ICH Q8/Q9/Q10 (QbD). I also hold an MBA in Project Management (USP/ESALQ), which informs how I structure technical deliverables for both scientific and business audiences. Services I offer as a freelance expert include regulatory and technical writing (dossiers, SOPs, validation reports, technical documentation for IVD/biotech), scientific consulting on product development strategy, and literature reviews. I bring a rare combination: I understand the science, the regulatory pathway, and the business context — so my writing doesn't just describe results, it builds the case your submission needs.
