VALENTINA RODRIGUEZ RESTREPO
@valentinarodriguezre
Pharmaceutical chemist focused on patient safety, sterile compounding, pharmacovigilance, and clinical research.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Pharmaceutical Chemist with experience in sterile compounding centers, clinical research, pharmacovigilance, technovigilance, and patient safety programs. I support commercial processes and informed decision-making through deep knowledge of pharmaceutical and medical device portfolios, built through direct supplier relationships, technical evaluations, and continuous follow-up.
I stand out for training and education, with a strong ability to teach healthcare professionals and patients while also analyzing and proposing pharmacological interventions. In my roles, I’ve led compliance with safety barriers across the full medication and medical device process, investigated medication errors with root cause analysis, and coordinated reporting and documentation to ensure traceability and regulatory compliance. I also bring GMP experience, strong organizational and communication skills, and a results-oriented, teamwork-driven approach.
