Senior Research Scientist specializing in R&D microbiology, with a Ph.D. in veterinary science and deep expertise in biofilms. Currently leading the microbiology laboratory at SPARTHA Medical, where I develop antimicrobial coatings and hydrogels for medical devices. My research spans biofilm architecture, pathogenesis, and innovative treatment strategies. An inventor with multiple patents, I have also held research positions at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (Germany) and the University of California, Santa Cruz (USA). In addition to my scientific work, I am a writer and dedicated educator, actively contributing to the academic community through publications, teaching, and workshops.
