Hire Dr. Lucia G.

United Kingdom

Senior Scientist and Project Manager with broad experience in Life Science commercial and Academic projects

Profile Summary

I am a highly accomplished, dynamic and enthusiastic Senior Scientist that has developed extensive experience in the management of scientific (not only) projects and in building, supporting and managing teams (in Universities, commercial Entities, and Third Sector). I am able to create valuable partnerships with very different stakeholders (such as an American Biotech or Japanese Research Institution, Charities, different clients). Acquired skills and knowledge (technical and no) in life science, biomedical, biochemistry, immunological, rare diseases, translational science and exploit them to deliver outstanding results in a different area. Furthermore, I have managed grant applications and be able to scout, thanks to my networking and communication ability, consultancy opportunities where I research and deliver information according to client needs and I consultant in life science fields such as immunotherapy, haematology, cancer biology, cellular and molecular biology, complement biology, biomedical science and process development. • Eager to commit my scientific expertise to be involved in the development of new therapeutics with particular focus on patient needs. • •Work experiences in competitive environments of Top Universities, Biotech and Cell, and Gene Therapy company. • Covered several different roles that gave me a deep understanding of the complexity and the critical steps of the process to create a cell therapy: from pre-clinical research to manufacturing. • Flexibility and ability to quickly adapt to new environments (Academic, Corporate, Biotech) and different cultures (worked in Italy, the UK, US, and Japan) • Independent thinking and a drive for innovation ( i.e, new assays, protocols, processes and involved in design a Patent). • Ability in projects and people management (i.e, Courses, Charity position, team coordination in different positions and environments) • Drive for improving myself (i.e, Courses, Meetings, Conferences, Volunteering work, Life and Work experiences) • Awards winner for developing research abroad (Japan) and recipient of travel grants • Ability to produce, analyze and present data for internal and external stakeholders (International Conferences such as ASH) • Author of numerous scientific publications
