Seeking #newopportunities to deliver value as a Senior Scientist, Associate Principal Scientist, Scientific Liaison, or Scientific Consultant within a company that combines new technologies such as single-cell omics and AI for drug discovery and personalized medicine. <br> Throughout my career, I've used various in vivo and in vitro models to investigate the molecular and cellular mechanisms of fibrosis and inflammation in the heart, and how these mechanisms are affected in mice with different genetic backgrounds. My experience includes project management and mentoring. I completed three projects involving international collaborations, supervised two junior researchers, and taught cellular and molecular techniques to at least six professionals. As one of the launching editors and senior editor at Nature Cardiovascular Research, I oversaw the quality of the content published in the journal and the editorial process. I collaborated with authors, reviewers, and editors to ensure the highest standards of scientific rigor, relevance, and innovation. I also contributed to the journal's vision, strategy, and outreach, promoting the latest advances and discoveries in the cardiovascular and hematology fields. This experience has sharpened my analytical and communication skills and broadened my understanding of the field, covering a wide range of studies, from basic research to clinical, epidemiological, and public health research. My mission is to advance the knowledge and practice of cardiovascular medicine and to bridge the gap between research and clinical applications.
