What I'm looking for

I’m looking to move from research into business development on the commercial side of scientific data, close to the scientists who use it. I’d welcome an early-career opportunity to learn a company’s portfolio and pipeline.

At Merck KGaA, I supported a regulated Lotus Notes-to-SharePoint migration, assessing ALCOA+ data integrity and System of Record requirements. I also created training materials on GxP, Computerized System Validation, AI, and Robotic Process Automation.

In research at University Medicine Göttingen and Heidelberg University Biochemistry Center, I built automated R pipelines that cut data-processing time by about 70% and improved documentation consistency. My work on protein import and degradation pathways led to publications.

I studied membrane proteins including PEX5, HRD1, and TMBIM5, using purification and characterization methods such as ÄKTA FPLC. I also wrote SOPs and quality standards for the eLabFTW electronic lab notebook.

I’m moving from research into business development on the commercial side of scientific data. I understand the data challenges scientists face, and I’ve coordinated IT, Quality, and Validation stakeholders at Merck KGaA as well as presented research to expert audiences.
