ABOUT MARINA CAÑADAS-ORTEGA

Since I was a child, I always wanted to know more. What makes us sneeze, why does it rain, how does the electricity work, what happens to the food we eat? 🤔 My sense of curiosity only grew with the years and mixed with my vocation to help others, telling me that I wanted to professionally devote myself to a career in the field of Life Sciences 🦠‍🧬During my +5 years of experience as a research scientist, I worked in 3 different biomedical fields in 3 countries, developing, optimizing, and validating pre-clinical and analytical assays, and 4 model organisms, and managed to master +25 SOPs. During this period, I also developed other powerful skills, and I realized my scientific vocation went far beyond the laboratory: Project & time management: leading two simultaneous projects for my PhD, prioritizing workload and meeting deadlines Communication skills: presenting research data in 7 scientific conferences and publishing 5 research papers Critical thinking: effective reasoning and decision making Leadership: mentoring and training 4 Masters and Bachelors students Interpersonal skills: establishing 3 collaborations with clinicians and between departmentsOn balance, I am an enthusiastic and proactive scientist willing to apply the solid scientific & medical knowledge acquired over +10 years in multicultural environments to create value and truly make a difference in patients\' lives. I am self-motivated and able to work autonomously, although I also feel very comfortable being part of a team. I am encouraged to cooperate, make decisions, and bring new ideas to the table to achieve the best outcomes.Excited to move forward and looking for the next step in my professional journey!
