Neuroscientist with over 15 years of international research experience across four countries, specializing in multi-disciplinary pre-clinical and clinical projects spanning in silico, in vitro, and in vivo disease models and human biomarkers. I started my research journey from a humble background, without access to sophisticated labs or resources, yet went on to complete my PhD with four first-authored publications, an experience that shaped my ability to find resourceful, economical solutions to complex research problems, a skill I continue to apply alongside advanced technologies today.
I bring a proven track record of translating research into impact: ranked in the top 2 percent of scientists globally (Stanford University and Elseviers Research Intelligence Reports, 2021 to 2025), with more than 40 peer reviewed publications and 3,100 citations. My strength lies in taking projects from concept to outcome, designing strategic research plans, troubleshooting technical roadblocks, securing grants, and building international collaborations that move science forward efficiently.
Backed by postdoctoral training in the USA and UAE, and current experience leading a multidisciplinary team in China, I specialize in identifying the right tool for the job, whether that’s a cutting edge platform or a resourceful workaround to answer key research questions within real project constraints. I am driven by a commitment to building collaborative, solution oriented environments that turn benchside discoveries into real world applications, and I am now looking to bring that same rigor and adaptability to consulting projects across pre-clinical and translational neuroscience.
