Experience
Medical Director, Expert in Regenerative Medicine & Extracellular Vesicle Therapies
Education
Throughout my academic and professional career, I have developed a deep understanding of cardiovascular research, particularly in the context of regenerative medicine and cell-based therapies. My doctoral research focused on the intrapericardial delivery of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from mesenchymal stromal cells, delivered in a thermo-responsive chitosan hydrogel for myocardial repair. This work not only enhanced my research skills but also involved extensive project management, ensuring timelines, budgets, and compliance with regulatory standards were met.
As Medical Director at Wellbeing International Foundation, I have been responsible for overseeing the development and implementation of cutting-edge therapeutic strategies, including the use of extracellular vesicles in regenerative therapies.
