PERSONAL STATEMENT:
I am an M.D. and Ph.D in Magnetic Resonance Techniques. Employed for more than 10 years as an investigator. I am highly proficient in Biomedical Research. I am highly knowledgeable in creating and managing research projects involving humans and experimental animals as subject of research. My experience allows me to conceptualize and complete complex investigations including multi-institutional trials. My professional development also includes the following endeavors. (1) Teaching Research Methodology at the undergraduate and graduate levels. (2) Training of young professionals in research procedures. (3) Writing manuscripts reporting the results of my research in peer-reviewed scientific journals. (4) Peer-reviewing research manuscripts for publication. The main focus of my investigations is the assessment of metabolic parameters in cancer masses at their original place in the body. To achieve this assessment, I use noninvasive methods based on nuclear magnetic resonance. My research recently confirmed that some of these metabolic parameters have the ability to predict response to treatment in cancer. Since 2010 I have been acting Director General of a multi-million dollar company.
