About

I am a physician and clinical development professional with extensive experience across clinical science, medical monitoring and drug development, currently working in Neuroscience and Rare Diseases at Roche Pharma Research and Early Development. My work focuses on translating scientific and medical insights into clinical development strategies and high-quality clinical trials, with particular experience in neuroscience and Alzheimer's disease. I contribute to clinical development plans, target product profiles, study design, clinical endpoints, medical monitoring, data interpretation and evidence generation across multidisciplinary development programs. I bring distinctive combination of clinical expertise in psychiatry, neuroscience and addiction medicine, formal training in pharmaceutical medicine, and more than a decade of experience in clinical research and drug development. I am particularly interested in the development of innovative therapies for neurological and psychiatric disorders and in advancing clinical development through scientifically rigorous, patient-centered and data-driven approaches. Beyond clinical development, I have a longstanding academic track record including peer-reviewed publications, scientific presentations, teaching and international research collaborations.
