🏁 What’s Next?
I might not have PhD (yet) but I walked across research labs, GMP environments, and international systems, I’m continuing to grow as a scientist — driven by curiosity, integrity, and collaboration.
I’m passionate about contributing to:
• Research on cellular therapies, immunology, and immunosenescence
• Teams that value neurodiverse perspectives and systems thinking
• Projects where rigorous science meets human-centered innovation
I’m always open to connecting with researchers, mentors, and collaborators who share the goal of advancing immunology through both innovation and inclusion.
Let’s connect — for talks, collaboration, or good science.
