PhD Scientific Consultant | Neuro-Regenerative Assay Design, Advanced Imaging & Project Strategy

Profile Summary

PhD Neuroscientist | 12+ Years of Research Excellence | Scientific Project Management & Assay Design I am a PhD-level scientist and consultant specializing in neuro-regeneration, advanced imaging, and the strategic management of international research consortiums. With over 12 years of experience at the bench and in leadership roles, I bridge the gap between complex laboratory data and high-level project execution. Core Expertise Neuro-Regenerative Research: Deep expertise in spinal cord regeneration, functional circuit repair, and synaptic mapping. I specialize in designing human-relevant in vitro assays that move beyond academic endpoints to support mechanism-of-action (MoA) studies. Advanced Imaging & Data Synthesis: Extensive experience with high-resolution functional imaging, PET, and multiphoton microscopy. I don't just generate data; I build reproducible analysis pipelines that turn raw images into actionable insights. Technical Communication: I translate dense scientific concepts into clear, professional documentation for stakeholders, investors, and regulatory bodies. Consulting Services Provided Assay Design & Optimization: Developing and standardizing protocols for neurite outgrowth, nerve repair, and cellular metabolic monitoring. Grant & Technical Writing: Assisting startups and labs with grant applications, white papers, and scientific manuscripts for high-impact journals. Strategic Project Coordination: Acting as a "Scientific Liaison" for large-scale research projects, ensuring operational momentum and administrative compliance. Peer Review & Due Diligence: Providing technical assessments of research data and methodologies for biotech investors and academic publishers. My Professional Philosophy I treat every project with the mindset of a Scientific Architect. Whether I am designing a new assay or managing a multi-million euro project, my focus is on data integrity, functional integration, and clinical relevance. I am a proactive problem-solver who thrives at the intersection of bench science and strategic management.
