I am an application specialist with biological and bio-technological background and with years of experience in research and science using various laboratory technologies.
After the PhD I joined a small enthusiastic team who launched a biotechnological start-up company BioSistemika. Starting as development and research associate my responsibilities expanded to project manager, principal application specialist and manager.
I am a reliable and organized person that believes in team work where each individual plays a crucial role in achieving a common goal. I have been using my communication and leadership skills to successfully manage a team of developers, quality engineers and application specialists who deliver quality products on time.
I am very excited about what the future holds for science since I see a lot of opportunities in open access and connected science. That is what I believe in and here I want to contribute.
