Summary

Senior scientist at AstraZeneca. I love challenging myself, and learning new things. As a highly motivated molecular biologist, I have taken every opportunity to expand my expertise in different fields of cell biology; from neuroscience to cancer research and metabolism. My academic and industrial experience have nurtured my insatiable curiosity and provided the opportunity to develop not only my research skills but also transferable skills such as team work, applied thinking, and effective communication. Being interested in disease biology, I aspire to apply my practical research skills to the discovery of new diagnostic tools and treatments.
