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.

Physician | Clinical Scientist | Vaccine & Biologics Development

Physician and clinical scientist with over 15 years of international experience across the full spectrum of vaccine and biologics development, from early-phase innovation to late-phase clinical implementation. Currently serving as Clinical Science Lead at GSK Vaccines (Italy), providing strategic and scientific leadership for late-phase clinical trials in meningococcal disease and other vaccine-preventable infections.

My professional background includes early clinical development programs addressing antimicrobial resistance and neglected tropical diseases, with hands-on experience in monoclonal antibodies and innovative delivery strategies. I have contributed to more than 40 clinical trials across Latin America, Europe, and complex or conflict-affected settings, including investigator-initiated studies, the establishment of clinical research centers, and collaborations with global health organizations such as WHO and DNDi.

I hold formal training in epidemiology and global health, with solid regulatory experience interacting with FDA, EMA, and WHO frameworks. My work is guided by scientific rigor, operational excellence, and a strong commitment to public health impact.

I am particularly interested in the intersection of clinical development, data science, and digital innovation to improve clinical decision-making in immunology and translational medicine. I value cross-functional collaboration, ethical leadership, and mission-driven science, and I am always open to scientific exchange and global partnerships that advance equitable access to transformative health solutions.
