About

I am an Analytical Expert specializing in the development, optimization, and validation of assays for biologics, proteins, and cell-based systems. My expertise covers the full analytical workflow — from early method development to robust assay optimization, troubleshooting, and implementation in cross-functional environments. Over the past years, I have worked extensively with ELISA, HPLC, Western Blot, and cell-based assays, establishing and improving analytical methods for both research and development settings. Through my roles in biotech companies such as Evotec and LenioBio, I have gained deep technical understanding as well as strong collaboration skills across R&D, QC, Process Development, and production-related teams. I am known for my analytical mindset, hands-on approach, and ability to solve complex technical challenges efficiently. I enjoy building reliable, scalable, and data-driven assays that support high-quality decision-making and product development. Key areas of expertise include: - Assay Development & Optimization (ELISA, HPLC, Western Blot, cell-based assays) - Method Development & Validation - Protein Analytics & Biologics Characterization - Troubleshooting and assay stabilization - Cross-functional project collaboration and technical leadership. As a Technical Expert, I am always open to exchanging insights on assay development, analytical strategies, and advancements in biologics and cell-based analytics.
