Senior technical expertise on antibodies and immunoassays
With a thorough background of molecular cell biology and biochemistry, I have accrued multi-disciplinary knowledge and experience while working in both academic and commercial environments with an emphasis on antibodies and immunoassays. During my CSO appointment at an antibody manufacturer, I have gained global recognition on my knowledge of commercial antibodies and their validation through meetings and publications. During my time involving drugs discovery I have developed several assays and filed for patents. I have tutored and trained assistants to very high standard, and many of them have moved on the career ladder since then. After I have written SOPs in a GLP-audited CRO and many technical and managerial SOPs for a fast-growing research antibody manufacturer, my focus has been on protein biomarkers and antibody validation to industrial standard. This focus led to a thorough understanding of etiologies at protein level and of diagnostics and medical interventions. My understanding of physical, chemical, and pharmacological principles made me ready to move on as an independent consultant to aid antibody manufacturers and in vitro diagnostics industries. My interest in strategic planning has helped me thinking creatively thus providing valuable inspirations to move biotech/pharma companies forward.
Based on the above, I was in the opportunity to set up my own company to introduce a long sought after quality standard for commercial tool antibodies. This concept may ultimately also work for the early discovery of candidate therapeutic antibodies.
My expertise is now available to assist in technical or strategic hurdles when complementary experience is required. When assistance is needed for a start-up or for a well-established company, confidentiality is guaranteed, and NDAs can be exchanged when required.
