Profile Summary

I have a PhD in the field of Neuroscience and 10+ years of experience as a research scientist focusing on multi-disciplinary approaches to target validation for neurodegenerative disorders. My years of experience as a scientist have given me an in-depth understanding of the field of neurobiology related to neuropsychiatric and degenerative diseases as well as a variety of scientific fields. In my current role as a research scientist at a CRO company I have gained extensive experience in project management involving multi-disciplinary approaches to target validation. In this role, I am responsible for the design and implementation of longitudinal research studies focusing on pre-clinical drug development and target validation for neurodegenerative disorders. As a project lead, I am also responsible for the strategic management of different scientific teams and expertise to achieve project goals and milestones with adherence budgetary guidelines. Although my primary focus is pre-clinical drug development, I am familiar with engaging potential suppliers for specific integrated services and establishing cost effective relationship with service vendors. I possess strong interpersonal communication skills and the know how to facilitate excellent customer/client relationships. My personal aptitudes also include excellent critical thinking and decision making skills. I work well under pressure both independently or as part of a team. I have a proven track record for delivering study results and written correspondence to achieve project goals and meet specific deadlines.
