About
Science that other people can run.
I am an analytical scientist with 10+ years across regulated pharmaceutical development, hospital research and academic labs. I combine experimental design, method development and troubleshooting with the part that is often missing: clear scientific interpretation, client coordination and training that makes a method work for other people too.
Based in Genova, working in English and Italian, open to remote and on-site projects in Europe.
