Biotechnology professional passionate about clinical research and data analysis.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a biotechnology professional with two years of industry experience in regulated environments, where I have honed my technical expertise and analytical problem-solving skills. My strong foundation in Good Clinical Practice (GCP) has fueled my passion for transitioning into clinical research, where I aim to ensure protocol adherence in clinical trials. I thrive in collaborative settings, working effectively with cross-functional teams to maintain high-quality research standards.
In my recent role as a Scientist at the National Institute for Biological Standards and Control, I conducted batch-release testing for human albumin and influenza vaccines, ensuring compliance with GMP and quality standards. My experience includes performing endotoxin testing and HPLC validation, as well as contributing to process optimization. I have also worked as a Laboratory Technician in clinical trials, where I ensured data quality control and maintained sample records, significantly enhancing study reliability.
With a Master’s degree in Biotechnology and certifications in Good Clinical Practice and Clinical Trials, I am eager to leverage my skills in clinical research. I am particularly interested in exploring the intersections of science, technology, and business strategy within the life sciences sector, and I am committed to advancing my career in this dynamic field.
