Profile Summary

PhD in Developmental Biology (EMBL Heidelberg, magna cum laude) with 10+ years of international experience in stem cell biology, organoid engineering, and preclinical R&D. During my postdoctoral research at the University of Southern California, I contributed to securing $1M in U.S. federal grants, developed 5+ validated protocols for cardiac organoid generation, and published in Science Advances and Stem Cell Reports. My earlier PhD work at EMBL resulted in a publication in PNAS and was selected from a 3% acceptance rate international program. I am currently Lead Biologist at OWLO, a Paris-based medtech startup, where I lead preclinical R&D strategy and validation pipelines. Core expertise available for consulting : — Organoid culture & 3D cell model development (cardiac, disease-relevant) — hiPSC, hESC, mESC culture and differentiation — Preclinical validation pipelines & assay development — Drug screening in 3D cellular systems — High-throughput imaging & quantitative image analysis — Grant writing (EU & US federal, €3M+ secured) — Scientific writing & manuscript preparation — Life sciences market research & competitive intelligence
