About

As Biochemistry Lab Head I am responsible for guiding and supporting multiple projects from early target assessment to late clinical candidate selection phase. I have intensive experience in the functional and structural characterization of multiprotein assemblies, the development of advanced enabling technologies for eukaryotic multiprotein complex research, complex biologics production, drug target identification & profiling, high throughput screening, assay development, molecular biology and genetics. As an enthusiastic drug hunter I have a proven track record of leading and managing multiple lines of research, independently and in collaboration with multi-disciplinary teams on various levels. I am an experienced public speaker who can effectively communicate complex matter to diverse audiences. My aim is to use my intense research experience to develop novel life changing medicines in a high profile, evolving, team-based environment that enables personal development coupled with the opportunity for advancement.
