Experienced, and dedicated scientist, who has more than 15 years of experience in stem cells research. I work on my own initiative and effectively as part of a team. Flexible, self-motivated with good communication and scientific skills, with ability to work well under pressure for meeting deadlines. I tackle scientific challenges and manage research team and laboratories. I have supervised medical, PhD and master students and gave lectures, talks to medical and basic sciences students.
