- Medical and Scientific Advisory. - Developing a scientific and clinical plan for Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy (VRET) software to help individuals with Sensory Overresponsivity (SOR) by ensuring its efficacy, safety, and usability.
- I provided creative cross-disciplinary clinical, scientific, and digital health input for primary multiple sclerosis (MS) clinical trials using Neurostatus-eEDSS. - I was responsible for providing high-quality reviews on clinical EDSS assessment data consistency on different eCOA platforms in multi-centre or single-centre clinical trials in Multiple Sclerosis and other neuroimmunological disorders. - I provided insights and knowledge of the Neurostatus-eEDSS digitalised clinical algorithm while developing new eCOA platforms that integrated the Neurostatus-eEDSS and offered highly analytical thinking and data structure knowledge of the algorithm. - I led and supported several UATs (Usability Assessment Tests) while developing new eCOA platforms that integrated the Neurostatus-eEDSS, including providing appropriate documentation for regulatory compliance. - I co-led a team of EDSS expert neurologists: offering analytical and critical thinking, effectively guiding them to solve complex problems and advising peers in finding innovative solutions for the high-quality reviews on clinical EDSS assessment data consistency. - I managed a clinical research project in neurodegeneration and image biomarkers providing translational analytical abilities to interpret complex data.
- I was responsible for providing high-quality reviews on clinical EDSS assessment data consistency on different eCOA platforms in multi-centre or single-centre clinical trials in Multiple Sclerosis and other neuroimmunological disorders. - I offered pragmatic problem-solving skills during my scientific and consulting activities with internal and external stakeholders. - I provided creative and innovative clinical and scientific consulting in clinical neuroimmunology and health information technology to eCOA companies.
- Planned, designed, developed and executed a research project regarding immunological markers in the early stages of Multiple Sclerosis, with a special focus on the role of B cell subpopulations. - Established a scientific collaboration with a worldwide group of experts in rheumatology and B cells. - Researched and analysed scientific and medical data to contribute to scientific publications in translational neuroimmunology. - Planned and designed a translational exploratory project to develop a multicolour flow cytometric easy-to-apply kit to phenotype human lymphocyte subsets to evaluate patients’ immune status using data science solutions, advanced analysis and digital visualisations. - Taught and mentored clinical fellows and medical, master and PhD students.
