Biomedical scientist and engineer with international experience (Belgium, Portugal, Netherlands). Skilled in stakeholder engagement, project coordination, and scientific communication, with a track record of aligning interdisciplinary teams and delivering innovative solutions. I thrive in environments that require fast learning, adaptability, and creative problem-solving. Experienced in synthesizing complex information into clear recommendations, pitching ideas to decision-makers, and evaluating products and solutions to ensure quality and fit. Creativity is central to my approach, from designing compelling visuals and infographics to developing narratives that make science accessible and engaging. My motivation is to bridge science with strategy, contributing to education, research, and industry innovation that drives real-world impact.
•Conduct primary qualitative and quantitative research on medtech markets. •Design and execute analytical frameworks to extract actionable insights from mixed-method datasets, synthesising findings into client-facing PowerPoint reports and one-pagers. •Identify data quality and methodology issues early in the research process, flagging inconsistencies and recommending corrective approaches to ensure output integrity. •Communicate project updates to clients and internal teams, maintaining alignment on scope, deliverables, and timelines. •Apply biological and clinical context across therapeutic areas and device categories to interpret research findings accurately.
• Conducted in-depth research, synthesizing scientific literature weekly to identify gaps and propose new approaches, supporting strategic decision-making. • Pitched research concepts to supervisors and collaborators, aligning priorities across diverse stakeholders. • Translated complex biomedical concepts into clear, audience-adapted presentations for engineers, clinicians, and biologists. • Designed impactful marketing-style visuals (presentations, posters, schematics, thesis cover artwork) to improve communication and engagement. • Coordinated interdisciplinary projects, often establishing workflows and methods from scratch. • Attended industry-led workshops on product development, market placement, and innovation strategy, gaining insights into the commercial side of life sciences. • Mentored and supervised students, strengthening relationship-building, coaching, and training skills. • Applied Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) Level-2 (BSL-2) • In vitro scientist: cell culture, molecular techniques, hydrogels, and microscopy-based analysis
• Adapted rapidly to a new academic environment, aligning workflows in a multicultural team. • Coordinated research between labs and ensured smooth communication across disciplines.
• Balanced innovation and feasibility when evaluating project strategies under strict timeframes. • Partnered with cross-functional teams to determine effective technical approaches, demonstrating consultative problem-solving.
• Contributed to a collaborative research project analyzing drug effects on cellular respiration. • Developed data analysis and interpretation skills using advanced experimental techniques.
