I am a multi-skilled professional in the fields of molecular biology, business development, and higher education. Currently, I am Head of Business Development at Takara Bio Europe, where I focus on company growth and creating strategic partnerships in the life-sciences sector. My role involves facilitating innovation and expanding the company's presence in the biopharmaceutical industry. Alongside my role at Takara Bio, I am also a lecturer at Saint Joseph University of Beirut, where I have taught courses on gene regulation and epigenetics for master's students since 2019. My academic background rests on solid research experience, notably as a postdoctoral researcher at the Van Andel Institute in the United States and at INSERM in France. My research focused on cancer epigenetics and the molecular characterization of genetic mutations, contributing to advances in precision medicine and diagnostics. Early in my career, I worked at Minos Biosciences, where I took part in innovative single-cell analysis projects, and at the Lebanese American University, where I set up a multi-omics laboratory for basic and clinical research projects. I also completed my PhD within the Marie Curie Initial Training Network, studying the epigenetic mechanisms of imprinted genes. Drawing on this scientific and commercial experience, I now put my expertise at the service of advancing the life-sciences industry, particularly in the fields of precision medicine and biotechnology.
