Ph.D. in Immunology and postdoc in Cognitive Neuroscience. Supported the launch of new drugs and medical devices

Profile Summary

I have a Ph.D. in Immunology. I studied the negative regulation of immune responses, particularly on the role of the ubiquitin-modifying enzyme A20. For my postdoctoral studies, I veered towards cognitive neuroscience. I used functional MRI to unravel the neural correlates of certain aspects of social cognition. Then I've worked in life sciences management consulting, serving pharma, medical devices and biotech companies. I recently graduated with a master degree in emerging technologies to add to my skill set
