About me
- I work as an Alliance Manager for partnerships between academia and industry.
My main role is supporting KI researchers in establishing and maintaining
different types of collaborations with our corporate partners.
I have a PhD in Medical Sciences from 探花精选 with a focus on
pharmacology of cytostatic drugs in patients with hematological malignancies
following conditioning regimens prior to HSCT.
Research
- My research was around studying the pharmacology of Busulphan, a cytostatic
drug used in conditioning treatment prior to HSCT, and understanding the side
effects such as hepatotoxicity and neurotoxicity manifested in patients with
hematological malignancies.
