I am an evidence synthesis and curation scientist with over a decade of experience turning complex biomedical literature into clear, actionable insights that drive decisions in research and development, clinical, regulatory, and market access settings. My work supports clients across pharma, biologics, nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals, and MedTech sectors, delivering reviews and analyses that stand up to both scientific and regulatory scrutiny. What I do • Systematic/Rapid Reviews & Meta-analysis: PRISMA/PRISMA-P–aligned protocols, PICO framing, PROSPERO registration, multi-database searches (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, ClinicalTrials.gov), dual screening, data extraction, quantitative synthesis, heterogeneity/sensitivity analyses. • Evidence Appraisal & Grading: Risk of bias (Cochrane RoB 2, ROBINS-I), GRADE certainty assessments, evidence mapping, living reviews. • Data Curation & Management: Search strategy design, de-duplication, ontology/keyword harmonization, reference management (EndNote/Zotero), screening platforms (Rayyan, Covidence, DistillerSR). • Medical Writing: Structured abstracts, white papers, manuscripts, clinical/technical summaries, CERs (EU MDR), PMS/PMCF plans, protocols and SOPs—publication-ready and reviewer-friendly.
