Expertise & Innovation

SCIENTIFIC CONSULTING

I offer customized scientific consulting services for startups, biotech companies, and research-driven teams looking to bring their ideas to life — or take their science to the next level.

My services are available worldwide, including Latin America, Europe, and beyond. Whether you're building a project from scratch or refining an existing one, I bring both research expertise and a flexible, collaborative approach to support your vision — wherever you are.

Whether you're developing a new product, building a research pipeline, or validating scientific content, I can help turn complex biology into clear, actionable steps. My goal is to support innovation with a strong foundation in real science.

What I Can Help You With:

Project Design & Strategy

From scratch: I help you conceptualize and build scientific projects aligned with your product, vision, or research goals.

Scientific Validation & Review

Need to ensure your claims, experiments, or content are scientifically sound? I'll review and refine it with clarity and accuracy.

In Vitro Model Development

Including 2D, 3D, spheroid, and co-culture systems, especially in the context of cancer and drug testing.

Molecular Biology Protocol Design

CRISPR, gene expression studies, marker analysis, flow cytometry panels, cell sorting, and more.

Grant Writing Support

Assistance with building compelling research proposals or translating science into accessible language for stakeholders.

Training & Mentoring

Workshops or 1:1 support for teams on experimental techniques, model systems, and data analysis.
