About me
I leverage my education (PhD in Molecular Biophysics) and over nine years of experience in life sciences research to transfer knowledge and technologies from the leading Baltic research centre in Drug Discovery.
I am currently focused on translating >10 scientific discoveries into industry-ready innovations, facilitating collaborations in:
-
drug discovery (cancer, metabolic diseases, anti-infectives, anti-fungals, natural products),
-
biotechnology (enzyme engineering, metabolomic research),
-
biomaterials and nanoparticles,
-
green chemistry.
I strive on building bridges between academia and industry, organizing innovation-driven initiatives, and supporting the development of international R&D partnerships and funding consortia.
