My Story
SELF-MOTIVATED TEAM PLAYER
I’m a toxicologist and laboratory animal science specialist with two M.Sc. degrees (Toxicology, University of Potsdam; Laboratory Animal Science, RWTH Aachen) and a strong interest in building a career in regulatory affairs. Over the past years, I have worked as a research associate in academic medical settings, combining in-vitro and in-vivo expertise with rigorous documentation and data analysis. My work includes primary cell isolation and differentiation, ELISA and RT-qPCR, histopathological and toxicological assessments, and hands-on animal study execution across multiple species. Alongside research, I have built skills in evidence synthesis through systematic reviews and meta-analyses, and I’m familiar with key regulatory frameworks including Directive 2010/63/EU (animal welfare), OECD and ICH guidelines, MDR, and REACH. I also completed training in GLP fundamentals and hold FELASA certifications (Functions A, B & D / LAS Specialist). I’m now leveraging this scientific and regulatory foundation to transition into regulatory affairs roles where I can support compliant, high-quality development programs from nonclinical strategy to submission-ready documentation.
