01About
I am a scientist with a PhD from the University of Buenos Aires and over 12 years of experience in academic research, complemented by professional experience in clinical research and clinical data management.
My academic career has focused on food science, applied microbiology, and the development and characterization of edible films and coatings. This work has involved experimental design, data analysis, scientific publishing, university teaching, and the supervision of research projects.
In the pharmaceutical industry, my experience includes the development of clinical study protocols, informed consent forms, case report forms (CRFs), standard operating procedures (SOPs), and clinical research documentation. I have also contributed to clinical quality assurance activities and study-related operational processes.
I currently work in clinical data management, bringing together my scientific background, research methodology expertise, and practical understanding of clinical study processes.
My professional interests lie at the intersection of scientific research, clinical research, data quality, and evidence-based decision-making.
