Professional Focus

Preclinical & Translational
Drug Development

I work at the intersection of scientific communication, preclinical research services, business development, and translational strategy. My background includes gene editing technologies, oncology model systems, client-facing research coordination, proposal development, strategic partnerships, and cross-functional project execution.

Preclinical & Translational Drug Development

Professional Direction

Focused on roles where science and strategy move together.

I am focused on roles where scientific communication, project coordination, and commercial strategy help move research programs forward. My experience has centered on preclinical CRO services, gene editing technologies, translational oncology, genetically engineered mouse and rat models, PDX model systems, and client-facing research support.

I am especially interested in opportunities connected to preclinical and translational drug development, clinical research support, pharmacogenomics, precision medicine, scientific partnerships, research operations, business development, alliance management, or technical program and project management.

Where I Add Value

01

Preclinical & Translational Research Support

Experience supporting scientific discussions and project development around oncology models, patient-derived xenografts, genetically engineered rodents, cell line engineering, toxicology, pharmacology, and translational research platforms.

02

Scientific Communication & Stakeholder Coordination

Comfortable translating complex technical capabilities into clear communication for scientists, commercial teams, external partners, clients, and internal leadership. Strong fit for roles that require careful follow-up, documentation, and cross-functional coordination.

03

Business Development & Partnership Strategy

Background in account development, strategic partnerships, proposal development, contract coordination, licensing discussions, market positioning, revenue forecasting, and pipeline management within biotech and preclinical research service organizations.

04

Gene Editing, Model Systems & Emerging Personalized Medicine

Experience with CRISPR/Cas9, Cas-CLOVER, piggyBac transposon technologies, transgenic model creation, cell line engineering, and preclinical model systems. Currently pursuing graduate study in Pharmacogenomics and Personalized Healthcare.

Roles & Environments

Looking for full-time opportunities where I can contribute meaningfully.

  • Preclinical or translational drug development
  • Scientific project or program management
  • Research operations or research administration
  • Clinical research coordination or translational research support
  • Business development or alliance management in biotech, pharma, CROs, or research services
  • Scientific partnerships, vendor management, or research outsourcing
  • Pharmacogenomics, genomic medicine, and personalized healthcare implementation
  • Technical sales enablement, product strategy, or market development for scientific platforms
