I am a senior consultant and project manager at the Cemit GmbH in Innsbruck, Austria since 2015. I studied chemistry at the Leopold-Franzens-University of Innsbruck for two years and then proceeded with microbiology. After a stay abroad at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School, Boston I received my Ph.D. in molecular biology in 2000. In my professional career I worked as a medical consultant, information specialist, clinical research associate and lecturer. In my position as a clinical research associate at the Medical University of Innsbruck I acted as a consultant to the scientific personnel about the (legal) requirements for conducting clinical trials in Austria, prepared relevant study documents and accompanied the submission to legal authorities and the conducting of clinical trials. Furthermore, I held lectures about diverse aspects of clinical trials with medicinal products and medical devices including data protection requirements and preclinical development at the Medical University of Innsbruck and the Management Center Innsbruck. My current work at the Cemit GmbH involves R&D project development, funding application and project management with a focus on Life Sciences, MedTech and ICT.
