South Korea

Preclinical Cell Biology Expert for Early-Stage Drug Discovery | MoA, Assay Design & Data Interpretation

Profile Summary

I am a PhD Cell Biologist specializing in mechanism-of-action (MoA) studies, cell-based assay development, and early-stage preclinical validation. For biotech startups, I provide lean, fast, data-driven scientific support that strengthens your drug hypothesis, clarifies mechanistic rationale, and helps de-risk your pipeline before costly in vivo or IND-enabling studies. I have 20+ years of experience across academia and industry, including leadership roles as Team Leader, Director, and CTO. I’ve developed 35+ SOPs, authored 50+ due diligence reports, and led mechanistic programs for therapeutic candidates targeting neurodegeneration, inflammation, fibrosis, and arthritis. I help startups: - Validate drug concepts with robust cell-based assays - Generate clear mechanistic rationale for investors - Design MoA studies that fit tight budgets & timelines - Produce data-driven scientific reports for partnerships - Review datasets and identify actionable next steps My goal is to ensure you advance only the most promising drug concepts—with confidence and scientific clarity.
