As a lab explorer, I facilitated a safe laboratory environment by training and supervising students in the proper use of equipment and safety protocols and designed and led workshops and provided support to student-led individual projects

Contributed to preclinical development efforts supporting antibody-based therapeutics, with a focus on characterizing biologic function, stability, and immune engagement. Gained hands-on experience with PK/PD-driven assays, antibody binding and effector function analyses, and complement pathway evaluation.

Supported analytical development of mRNA-based vaccine programs by developing and running cell-based and molecular assays used to evaluate product quality, potency, and integrity. Built strong experience in flow cytometry, assay optimization, and cell culture while contributing data that informed program decisions.

• Assisted with High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) processes • Participated in dissolution testing to measure the percentage of active ingredient dissolution • Engaged in Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) activities to identify impurities and verify materials • Supported stability analysis to assess the shelf life and efficacy of pharmaceutical products • Contributed to analytical dossiers for drug evaluation (character analysis, average mass, active ingredient identification etc.) • Performed final product control and managed the sample library while adhering to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) • Gained insight into drug release processes, audit preparations, and Drug Release Forms (DRFs)

Student internship through ECE Paris - Prospected of engineers (electrical, software and aeronautical) and project managers on LinkedIn - Presented prospection KPIs to managers in weekly meetings. - HR rotation: met with potential clients to assess their needs and assign engineers on their projects - Evaluated resumes and provided feedback on potential candidates to managing directors - Created advertisement materials (brochures, post, newsletters etc.) and distributed them to online platforms such as LinkedIn and Facebook.
