Building and leading a cross-functional R&D team in neurodegenerative disease diagnostics
Challenge
A biotech startup needed to simultaneously develop a biomarker discovery pipeline, build a functional lab, and coordinate with external CDMOs — with no existing team structure and tight timelines.
Approach
Defined the team architecture, recruited and onboarded scientists and a bioinformatician, established lab workflows, and set up project tracking and documentation systems from day one. Operated as both scientific lead and operational manager throughout.
Outcome
A functional, autonomous R&D team running parallel workstreams across biomarker discovery, assay development, and device prototyping within 18 months.
