Scientific Consultant - Imaging Sciences and Data Analysis

Profile Summary

I am an MRI physicist and imaging scientist with more than 15 years of experience developing imaging biomarkers for the pharmaceutical and medical device industries. I can offer a set of well developed skills to support innovation programs at different scales, from exploratory single-site pilot studies up to international multi-disciplinary public-private consortia. Given my strong background in engineering, biomedical imaging and computer sciences, I have a set of technical, analytical and experimental skills to understand and develop in-vivo imaging applications and transfer them into commercial products. Given my experience working in highly regulated industries, setting up academic collaborations, line managing scientist and providing strategic input into organisational R&D objectives, I can offer a set of well developed skills to support healthcare innovations throughout their whole cycle, from defining study requirements up to reporting and publication of findings, including hands-on support for data analysis. I can also support healthcare innovations to reach the Latin American market. I offer bilingual (English-Spanish) support to communicate your brand to local markets, scientific expertise to ensure compliance with local market regulations, technical expertise to provide direct customer service, cultural background to understand subtleties in usage of trade and a commercial platform (located in Chile) to represent your brand across Latin America.
