Veronica Zelmanovich

Enthusiastic Molecular biologist eager to contribute to team success through hard work, attention to detail and excellent organizational skills. A decade in academia made me a professional learner and problem solver. In my Ph.D. I worked on developing an anti-aging therapy. Specifically, I investigated how small diamine molecules promote healthier aging. Motivated to learn, grow and excel in R&D and Analytical fields.
