Profile Summary

I’m a biochemist and scientific consultant with over 8 years of experience in academic research, scientific writing, and 5 years of experience in interdisciplinary biotech development. I hold a master’s degree from McGill University, where I specialized in molecular biology, and I have spent the last 5 years leading an early-stage biotech company focused on obesity therapeutics and metabolic research, across Denmark and Canada. My core expertise: - Grant writing and fundraising (4+ years, including public and private funding applications) - Research strategy and project design in biochemistry, metabolism, and ageing. - Scientific writing: academic manuscripts, literature reviews, white papers, and outreach materials. My past research has focused on: - Non-ribosomal peptide synthetases – the bacterial/fungal machinery behind antibiotic biosynthesis. - Metabolism and obesity therapeutics – targeting G3PP to modulate metabolic pathways. - Bioproduction and biofuels – launching new research into hydrogen and high-value compound production using biological systems. As a founder and scientist, I specialize in making complex biology accessible, actionable, and impactful. I work well with teams that are mission-driven and need clear, thoughtful science support — from early-stage biotech to academic consortia.
