Prior to my current role as a freelancer, I held the position of Senior Clinical Operation Program Manager at Affimed, a global biotech company specialized in immuno-oncology. In this role, I assumed full responsibility for all clinical operations activities related to the development of a new drug candidate, successfully transitioning it from the pre-clinical to the clinical phase. I played a pivotal role in finalizing the Clinical Development Plan and was entrusted with leading and overseeing its implementation in the clinical phase.

Furthermore, I have held different roles at Curevac (a global biotech company), mainly in trial and program management, contributing to the development of the mRNA platform in the fields of immuno-oncology and prophylactic vaccines.

I have been employed as Global Clinical Project Manager and as Regulatory Affairs Specialist at two global CROs: SIRO and ERGOMED, in different therapeutic areas.

I hold a PhD in Biochemistry (J. W. Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany) and a Diploma in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology (University of Padova, Italy).

I continuously update my professional skills by attending training courses in GCP/GDPR, project management, leadership, communication and presentation techniques.

I’m based in Frankfurt a. M. and am business fluent in English, German and Italian.
