Business Development Manager @ Biocytogen

About

With seven years of experience in cell and molecular biology, neuroscience, and biomedical research, I have built a strong scientific foundation in understanding disease mechanisms, experimental design, and translational research.Through my research training, I developed not only technical expertise, but also a strong interest in how scientific discoveries can be advanced beyond the lab. This perspective led me to business development and licensing, where I now apply my scientific background to evaluate opportunities, understand partner needs, and support collaborations in the biotech and pharmaceutical space.Currently, I am a Business Development Manager, Licensing at Biocytogen, supporting out-licensing and co-development opportunities for antibody-based therapeutic assets generated through Biocytogen’s proprietary RenMice platform. My work focuses on identifying and engaging potential partners, supporting external discussions, and helping connect innovative antibody discovery capabilities with strategic development opportunities.I enjoy building connections with people across different scientific and business areas, learning about their work, and finding ways to better support potential collaborations.
