Profile Summary

I am a highly experienced biotechnology professional with nearly two decades of dedicated engagement in developing cancer and rare disease treatments. My career spans a broad spectrum, encompassing translational and clinical research and a comprehensive knowledge of product development and management in the context of cutting-edge medical technologies. My core area of expertise lies in the development of cell therapies, from pioneering proof-of-concept studies to the intricate design of clinical trials. My interests include personalized medicine, personal care, immuno-therapies, and novel cancer detection and treatment technologies. My commitment to science extends beyond the realms of academia and industry; I am also an advocate for disease prevention through the promotion of a healthy lifestyle and exercise, recognizing the profound impact such lifestyle choices can have on individual well-being.
