Our Network of Consultants

I am a bioprocess development scientist with over eight years of industrial experience in downstream process development, manufacturing sciences and technology (MSAT), technology transfer, protein sciences, and GMP biomanufacturing. My expertise spans the complete biologics development lifecycle, from early discovery and process development to process characterization, scale-up, manufacturing support, process validation, and commercial technology transfer.

Throughout my career, I have contributed to the development of more than 60 biologic molecules across diverse therapeutic modalities, including monoclonal antibodies, bispecific antibodies, fusion proteins, growth factors, biosimilars, vaccines, viral vectors, plasmid DNA, gene therapy products, and plant-derived biologics. I have extensive experience in designing and optimizing scalable downstream purification processes using affinity, ion exchange, mixed-mode, hydrophobic interaction, reverse-phase, and size-exclusion chromatography, along with tangential flow filtration (TFF), ultrafiltration/diafiltration (UF/DF), and membrane-based separation technologies.

My professional experience includes leadership and technical roles at Zatloukal Innovations GmbH (Austria), Aurigene Discovery Biologics (Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories), CuraTeQ Biologics, Biocon Biologics, Mynvax, Stelis Biopharma, Appasamy Biopharma, and Tallinn University of Technology. These roles have provided me with broad expertise in recombinant protein expression, analytical characterization, structural biology, CMC development, process troubleshooting, quality systems, regulatory compliance, and cross-functional project leadership.

I have successfully supported technology transfer, manufacturing readiness, engineering and GMP manufacturing campaigns, process optimization, and continuous improvement initiatives in both development and commercial manufacturing environments. My approach combines scientific rigor with practical manufacturing expertise to develop robust, scalable, and cost-effective bioprocesses that accelerate product development and commercialization.

I currently lead downstream bioprocess development and quality control activities for next-generation plant-derived biologics. I am passionate about translating innovative scientific discoveries into scalable manufacturing solutions and supporting biotechnology organizations through technical leadership, strategic process development, and successful technology transfer.

My area of study is the intersection of clinical neuroscience, translational pharmacology, and computational biomarker discovery. I am a PhD candidate investigating how glymphatic and meningeal–lymphatic pathways relate to neuroinflammation in humans. I focus on immune-cell phenotyping and cell-free markers that may index inflammatory activity and neurodegenerative trajectories. Alongside sampling development, I contribute to assay and workflow optimisation for mass-spectrometry-ready proteomics, with an emphasis on automation, quality control, and reproducibility.

My pharmacology and drug-safety foundation was built through an MRes in Biological Science and Translational Medicine. I examined dose- and time-dependent paracetamol-induced kidney injury in renal cell models, differentiating apoptotic and necrotic mechanisms and linking experimental readouts to clinically relevant nephrotoxicity questions. I completed a systematic review on cilastatin as a renoprotective strategy and critically evaluated in vitro acute kidney injury models for translational validity. I also gained ward-level exposure as a Clinical Research Associate in nephrology, aligning laboratory findings with real-world clinical pathways and multidisciplinary decision-making.

From an industry and communications perspective, I have experience in medical affairs-adjacent work, including market analysis to support launch planning in an ophthalmic pharmaceutical company and the development of compliant training materials with medical teams. I have delivered conference and hospital presentations, tailoring complex findings to both clinical and public audiences, and I have completed structured projects on European compliance frameworks, which underpins my approach to regulatorily aware medical writing.

Computationally, I build end-to-end machine-learning workflows in Python and R for noisy, high-dimensional datasets, particularly proteomics and multimodal clinical data. My toolkit spans supervised learning, unsupervised clustering, and dimensionality reduction.

Overall, my expertise is translating complex biomedical and quantitative evidence into actionable deliverables, supported by an MBA in Clinical Leadership and a strong biochemistry foundation, including earlier research on TEX12 expression in somatic and cancer models.
