What I'm looking for

I'm looking to support the commercialisation of innovative scientific technologies through technology transfer, strategic partnerships, licensing, and cross-functional collaboration from early research to market deployment.

I've supported Penrhos Bio/Remora's licensing-led commercialisation of a novel biofilm-prevention platform molecule across healthcare, veterinary, and industrial sectors. I identify market opportunities, engage prospective partners, coordinate proof-of-concept collaborations, and support agreements from NDAs and MTAs through to licensing.

Previously at Argenta, I led analytical activities for new product introductions and technology transfers in cGMP-regulated pharmaceutical programmes, coordinating QA, QC, regulatory, manufacturing, clients, and junior analysts.

My foundation is analytical chemistry across pharmaceutical CMO, CRO, and biotechnology environments, including HPLC, UPLC, GC, spectroscopy, method validation, quality systems, regulatory documentation, and laboratory setup.
