Project management & maturation
Managing a medical research project means navigating between worlds that don't naturally speak to each other: academic constraints, clinical requirements, industrial imperatives and funding cycles. Since joining the TIMC laboratory, I have led — alone or co-led — several projects from the idea stage through to clinical evaluation, building teams, securing funding, and handling day-to-day operational coordination.
The idea always comes from clinical practice: a surgeon or radiologist identifies a need, and everything is built from there. The LPR illustrates this complete journey: from proof of concept (TRL1-2) to preclinical trials on healthy subjects (TRL5), through Linksium maturation and a BPI incubation attempt. On this project I coordinated up to ten people simultaneously — postdocs, engineers, CIC-IT partners — while maintaining scientific and administrative continuity.
For REMI and Cardiology, I was solely responsible for the interface with the clinical leads (Prof. Rafaëlle Spear and Prof. Gilles Barone-Rochette), team building, funding applications and operational follow-up. For CamiTK and Prasad Samarakoon's thesis, I co-led with Emmanuel Promayon, sharing responsibilities across the scientific and technical workstreams.
