Senior Regulatory Affairs Expert & PhD Scientist | Medical & Scientific Writing

Profile Summary

As a PhD-level scientist with over 15 years of experience in biotechnology, vaccine development, and medical devices, I specialize in bridging the gap between complex R&D data and regulatory compliance. My expertise spans the entire product lifecycle—from molecular design and process development to international registrations (EU MDR, ASEAN, GCC). Currently, I lead Regulatory Affairs projects for Class IIb medical devices, focusing on the authoring and review of Technical Documentation, Biological Evaluation Reports, and Risk Management files (ISO 14971). My background as a Senior Scientist at Bavarian Nordic and my doctoral research on viral immunology provide me with a deep understanding of aseptic processing, method validation, and clinical data interpretation. I am passionate about translating intricate laboratory and production data into clear, actionable, and compliant documentation to ensure timely market access for innovative healthcare products.
