Ambitious lead scientist with expertise in project management and client relations.
What I'm looking for
I am an ambitious and technically skilled lead scientist with over three years of experience managing complex, multi-phase scientific projects in a regulated laboratory setting. My proven track record includes establishing and maintaining strong client relationships, ensuring on-time, high-quality project delivery, and consistently exceeding stakeholder expectations. I am recognized for my clear communication, strong leadership, and ability to align cross-functional teams around shared goals.
In my current role as a Project-Based Scientist at Bionique Testing Laboratories, I manage contract research studies focused on alternative qPCR-based mycoplasma detection methods. I serve as the primary point of contact for multiple concurrent client-facing projects, demonstrating my ability to direct complex initiatives and meet contractual timelines. My efforts in continuous process optimization have resulted in significant improvements in sample throughput and processing time, enhancing delivery efficiency and team performance.
Additionally, I have engaged in extensive leadership and project management training, mentoring junior staff and contributing to departmental growth. My participation in national scientific conferences has not only enhanced corporate visibility but also strengthened client relationships, showcasing my commitment to advancing scientific research and collaboration.
