Fun fact: Some facts and I will leave it to you to determine what is a fun fact! ... I enjoy some extreme activities ie; have tried hot air ballooning, travelling in the cockpit of small planes (during a storm), have cuddled a very old Tasmanian Devil, have held a snake (that's the extent of it). I also enjoy food and dining with family and friends, going to the movies is a great night out, have seen most of the "Law and Order" episodes and make a great lasagna!

Contact me for: Queries you have about contracts and agreements, intellectual property, commercialisation - check out our intranet page for more details.
Experience and/or qualifications: BA, BSc(Hons), PhD. I was a postdoc in the Department of Microbiology at Monash Uni before joining Hudson about 5 years ago (in the BD Office for 3.5 years).
Why you do this work/what you love about your job: Lab research wasn't for me, but I still wanted a job in the research sector that combined my interest in translational science with lots of opportunities to learn - I certainly get that here, with so much great research and commercialisation happening at the Institute!
Fun fact: BA major was in Criminology and Justice studies, and I also have a Certificate IV in Forensic Science. There were very few women role models in science around me when I was younger, but there was Special Agent Dana Scully from The X-Files!

I'm working on: Updating agreements and patent application into an intellectual property software.
Experience and/or qualifications: Medical Degree, Specialist in Clinical Genetics and will finish a Masters in Research shortly.
Why you do this work/what you love about your job: The BDO has helped me better understand the process from having a novel discovery to its possible applications in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Definitely, a very interesting area where I have learnt a lot of what happens between research and the clinical area.
Fun fact: I was born in Mexico and as expected, I am a foodie. Always happy to try different culinary options.
