Neuroscientist & R&D Leader | Alzheimer’s, Biomarkers, Diagnostics, Grant & Scientific Writing Expert

Profile Summary

I am a neuroscientist and research leader with 15+ years of experience in Alzheimer’s disease, neurodegeneration, neuroinflammation, biomarker discovery, and translational research. I hold a PhD in Neuroscience (Neuroepigenetics emphasis) from Maastricht University and completed a postdoctoral fellowship in epigenetics at Banner Sun Health Research Institute. I currently serve as an Associate Research Professor at Arizona State University and previously served as Vice President and Director of R&D at Immunoview LLC, where I led scientific strategy, biomarker development programs, and early diagnostic platform design. I have extensive experience managing multidisciplinary teams, directing complex research operations, and developing scientific and technical materials for academic, clinical, and industry audiences. My expertise spans: • Alzheimer’s disease and neurodegenerative biology • Microglia, neuroinflammation, and immune-neuro interactions • Biomarker discovery (including exosome-based and fluid biomarkers) • Diagnostic assay development and validation • Epigenetics and single-cell/omics approaches • Human tissue–based research and neuropathology • Scientific writing, editing, and grant/proposal development • Experimental design, data interpretation, and literature synthesis • Translational strategy and cross-functional scientific communication I have served as Principal Investigator and Co-Investigator on multiple NIH- and foundation-funded projects, including R21s, R01 submissions, multi-omic human brain atlas programs, and biomarker development initiatives. I am also a standing member of the NIH NOMD Study Section and have authored more than 65 peer-reviewed publications. My work has been featured in major outlets such as The New York Times, CNN, ESPN, and Newsweek. I specialize in: • Scientific/technical writing and editing • Grant and proposal development (NIH, foundations, biotech) • Biomarker and diagnostic consulting • Alzheimer’s and neurodegeneration expertise • Literature reviews and scientific due diligence • Experimental design and data interpretation • Translational R&D strategy I provide clear, accurate, and high-impact scientific support tailored to academic researchers, biotech startups, and industry clients.
