I embarked on my journey in immunology research in 2008-2009, delving into the effects of antiretroviral therapies on HIV-2 infected patients. My passion lies in translating lab discoveries into impactful products, leading me to join Technophage during my master's studies (2009-2010). Here, I focused on producing and purifying recombinant viral proteins, aiming to revolutionize conventional antibiotics. These studies resulted in 3 original publications. My doctoral studies (2012-2016) expanded on these themes, unraveling the regulatory elements of these proteins and exploring their potential in enzibiotic therapy. The significant contributions to the field can be attested in 3 original publications and a PhD thesis. As a postdoc scientist at iNOVA4Health's Translational Medicine Program, I enriched my expertise in molecular biology and virology. My journey took an exciting turn towards gene therapy, particularly in optimizing adeno-associated virus (AAV) production platforms in both insect and mammalian cells (2017 – present). My contributions extend to implementing analytical methods and characterization protocols for assessing vector productivity, purity, and biological activity since 2017. My objective is to advance scientific knowledge in AAV-based gene therapies manufacturing and enhance accessibility for patients by lowering costs through process optimization. These results can be evaluated in 3 original publications. In 2021, my project secured funding from iBETXplore (50 k), wherein I implemented ddPCR technology to quantify AAV samples. This initiative led to the development of a fully characterized AAV reference material, validated through various analytics, facilitating analyses by other research teams. With ten scientific publications and involvement in grant applications and article reviews for prestigious journals like Scientific Reports, I've cultivated a diverse skill set. I've undergone a clinical trials course and honed my planning and organizational skills as a lab manager. My commitment to continuous improvement is evident in my pursuit of leadership and project management courses, enhancing my emotional intelligence and delegation abilities. Beyond research, my commitment extends to education. I actively contribute to teaching biopharmaceutical and BCA classes and have mentored junior investigators, guiding them through internships, master's dissertations, and professional challenges. Currently, I co-supervise a PhD student, contributing to their academic and professional growth.
