Experience

  • Scientist - Respiratory & Immunology, Bioscience COPD/IPF at AstraZeneca
    Sep 2023 - Present · 2 yrs 10 mos

    Extensive experience in preclinical in vivo and in vitro research within respiratory disease, including study coordination and hands-on rodent work such as lung function measurements, dosing, disease monitoring, and tissue collection. I have planned and executed regulated in vivo studies while ensuring high standards of animal welfare, documentation, and data integrity. My work also includes ex vivo and molecular analyses such as ELISA and qPCR, alongside data analysis and scientific interpretation. I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to translate complex preclinical data into meaningful insights that support research decisions and downstream development.
