ABOUT SARAH FOERSTER
I bridge the gap between complex regenerative science and decisive R&D leadership.With a PhD and 8+ years across academia and biotech, I specialize in the intersection of stem cell biology, neuroscience, and aging. Most recently, I led a team of seven researchers through a high-priority target validation project. By delivering a robust data package that identified commercial and chemical design constraints, I facilitated a strategic \"fail-fast\" decision—saving critical R&D resources for more viable therapeutic leads.My background is unique: I’ve authored 11 peer-reviewed academic papers (5 as lead/corresponding author) and spent two years as a Scientific Editor. This experience sharpened my ability to identify high-impact science, spot flaws in study designs, and ensure the highest standards of data integrity—skills I now bring to every project I lead.Core Strengths:> Team Leadership: Managed teams of up to 7 to meet executive-level milestones.> R&D Strategy: Designing R&D roadmaps for stem cell and neuro-regeneration programs.> Critical Analysis & Communication: Leveraging editorial precision to produce high-quality reports, manuscripts, and stakeholder presentations that align lab data with business goals.I am currently seeking a Team Lead role where I can apply scientific rigor and operational efficiency to the next generation of regenerative medicine. Let\'s connect.
