Christian Matheou

I currently lead the scientific side of several of CMC Connect’s accounts, developing both publications-related content (posters, abstracts, manuscripts, a podcast, and plain-language summaries) and medical affairs content (slide decks, surveys, and educational materials). I am responsible for managing timelines, writer resourcing, reviewing content and mentoring writers. In addition, I regularly lead calls with our clients. In my role I have also directly developed content myself, including graphical abstracts, slide-decks, posters, and content for pitches. I also regularly quality check content, ensuring that all references and data are accurate, which requires a high level of attention to detail. I have worked across a range of therapeutic areas, including psychiatry, neuroscience, rare disease, inflammation, hepatology disease, and women's health. 

I have a PhD from Queen Mary University of London, focused on Biochemistry. The aim of the project was to elucidate the role of metal homeostasis in Alzheimer’s disease pathology, using a broad range of biophysical techniques; we demonstrated that copper and zinc ions influence Aβ(1-42) misfolding, with copper potentiating membrane disruption.
