João Novo
@joonovo
I turn biomedical research into clear scientific and regulatory documentation for clinical development.
PortugalWhat I'm looking for
I've advanced therapeutic development research at the Advanced Therapies Group, identifying a novel therapeutic candidate progressing toward patent submission and a clinical trial application.
I write, review, and maintain protocols, SOPs, technical reports, manuscripts, abstracts, and regulatory documentation. My published work includes original research articles in Aging Cell, Journal of Nanobiotechnology, Frontiers in Pharmacology, International Journal of Molecular Sciences, and Toxicology Letters.
I've coordinated multidisciplinary academic, biotechnology, and service-provider stakeholders, contributed to funding proposals securing €305k, and communicated complex biology to scientific and clinical audiences. I'm now focused on applying my scientific and medical writing experience to oncology clinical research and development.
