Hi. I am an IBM-Certified Project Manager and Licensed Biomedical Scientist from Nigeria, helping Biotech, Health Tech, and Clinical Research companies streamline operations, align stakeholder interests, and deliver complex technical projects on time and within scope. I am transitioned from a background in biomedical research and bioinformatics to project management, so I am well equipped to bridging the gap between scientific R&D, business operations, and Agile execution in healthcare, biotech and clinical research projects. Founders, Principal Investigators, and Health Tech leaders often lose valuable strategic bandwidth managing fragmented workflows between clinical teams, bioinformaticians, software engineers, and external vendors. With 3+ years of experience across basic and applied clinical research, WHO and Gates Foundation surveillance programs, multi-stakeholder hospital programs, and dry-lab computational pipelines and AI Biosecurity, I can serve as the operational backbone for your organization: translating executive vision into structured roadmaps, operations, and measurable outcomes. How I Can Support Your Organization: - Technical Project Management & Agile Delivery: End-to-end lifecycle management (Agile/Scrum, Kanban), sprint planning, milestone tracking, and risk mitigation for clinical research, health informatics builds, and AI/LLM biosecurity initiatives. - Business Operations & Process Optimization: Designing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), managing budgets and resource allocation, optimizing cross-functional workflows, email management, scheduling, and maintaining strict quality compliance across clinical and remote teams. - Executive & Stakeholder Support: Acting as a strategic right hand to C-suite leaders, founders, and lab directors. I manage multi-tier stakeholder communications (hospital boards, CROs, regulatory bodies, external vendors), prepare investor/grant research briefs, coordinate high-level symposia (scaling attendance by 250%), and translate complex R&D metrics into executive-ready dashboards. - Hands-On Bioinformatics & Multi-Omics Execution: Deep technical capacity to step in and build or audit dry-lab workflows. Proficient in Nextflow, Snakemake, Bash, R/Bioconductor, and Python for Transcriptomics (bulk/scRNA-seq, CAR-T), Metagenomics, and Variant Interpretation. - Clinical Data Science & Biostatistics: Advanced statistical modeling, machine learning (Scikit-learn, TensorFlow), and epidemiological data analysis using R, Python, and SPSS, backed by peer-reviewed publications in Wellcome Open Research. Key Operational & Technical Highlights: - Program & Operations Leadership: Directed budgeting, cross-functional teams, and executive stakeholder alignment for a 40-week clinical seminar series and annual hospital symposium at University College Hospital. - Award-Winning Health Tech Delivery: 1st Place Winner at the AI for Life Sciences Hackathon (Austria), Global Finalist in the Vivli AMR Data Challenge, and 1st Runner-Up at the African Biohackathon. - Multi-State Surveillance & QA: Coordinated wet-to-dry lab sample workflows and data reporting across 23 states in Nigeria for an environmental surveillance project and 500+ clinical isolates for a cancer research project. Whether you need a Technical Project Manager to drive your product roadmap, a Business Operations coordinator to bring structure to your growing biotech startup, or a hybrid PM-Biomedical researcher who can both manage the stakeholders and provide additional operation support, let’s connect.
