As a Assistant Professor at RUAS, my research is focused on exploring molecular targets and therapeutic agents in cancer, with a bioinformatics-driven approach focused on signaling pathways involved in tumor progression. I bring a strong blend of academic insight of teaching and industry experience, particularly in pharmacovigilance and clinical operations. My expertise includes therapeutic management and medical case processing. I am experienced in assessing reportability to regulatory authorities and ethics committees and ensuring compliance with global regulatory standards.
