Profile Summary

I am a biologist and I work in the cosmetic field. I deal everyday with product development, product communication and cosmetic ingredients evaluation. Before working in the cosmetic industry I did a PhD and a post-doc in Neurobiology (basic research on the visual cortex and pre-clinical evaluation of drugs in the pain field), and after that, I did a two years specialization in cosmetic science. My previous experience gave me the knoledge to design experiments, search the literature, perform data analysis, write scientific papers and present data, and try to understand biological problems.
