A COMMERCIAL PERSPECTIVE.01 / PROFILE
01 — ABOUT
Good science.
Real-world potential.
I’m interested in what happens between a promising scientific idea and a treatment that can reach people.
My focus is the intersection of drug discovery, peptide therapeutics, and the regulatory and commercial pathways involved in pharmaceutical development. I’m particularly drawn to the commercialisation challenges facing scientifically credible areas of pharmacology with strong translational potential.
Alongside my biochemistry degree, I’m exploring how scientific understanding connects with entrepreneurship, regulation and market analysis.
02 — AREAS OF INTEREST
