Über mich

I am an international life sciences advisor with a solid track record of combining multiple scientific areas with business and patient interests.

I have over 6 years experience in immunology with over 5 years in oncology, including Cancer-immunotherapy, Virotherapy, Cancer Gene Therapy, Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy. Furthermore, I have over 1 year of experience in rare metabolic diseases orphan drugs.

In my latest position, I worked as a R&D, Marketing & Strategy consultant for Life Sciences at Alcimed-Switzerland. I was responsible for end-to-end completion of life science projects, from information gathering to the drafting of recommendations for global life sciences companies (Pharmaceutical, Biotech, Agro-food). The clients problems were of a broad nature, including market research, drug use analysis, market access, mature markets expansion strategies, drug sales forecasting and supply chain competitive intelligence etc. These diverse projects have given me the skills to construct relationships, build trust and efficiently communicate with key opinion leaders (KOLs), key investigators, HCPs, health authorities and other key stakeholders, in a structured and with business specific objectives. The global scope of my role together with intensive project deadlines provided me strong organizational skills and to be able to involve the right person for the right situation with the right timing.

I completed my PhD studies with the highest possible grade Approved with distinction given by the Faculty of Medicine - University of Helsinki where I did pre-clinical and clinical research. Throughout my PhD studies, I had to combine the patients interests of new and better treatments with the business interests of the spinoff biotech company Oncos Therapeutics of patent portfolio increase and intensive deadlines.
My experience acquired from living in different countries, as well as working in different scientific and business areas, has taught me to be open-minded, independent, flexible, and being able to adapt quickly to new situations. The board memberships of several multicultural and multidisciplinary associations have made my ability and skills strong to interact with people from diverse backgrounds. Through the collaboration in these associations, I have become a great networker and learned a lot about successful teamwork and project management when, for example, organizing several projects, symposiums and events. Moreover, I managed all my PhD projects effectively and thus I was able to accomplish the PhD degree in just 4 years, when the average time needed by the Faculty of Medicine University of Helsinki is 6 years. Furthermore, I have published several articles in international journals and I am a co-inventor in a patent application.

My main motivation is to carry out work that positively benefits society, such as contributing to improve peoples health and quality of life.
