About Claudia
Claudia is a Senior Translation Executive who leads a team supporting oncology translational research across the London region. She oversees a portfolio of CRUK-funded research, provides strategic guidance to researchers, and works closely with a wide range of stakeholders to identify, assess, and advance opportunities with the potential to improve patient outcomes.
Claudia’s scientific background is in cell biology and neuroscience. She holds a Master’s degree in Molecular Biology and Genetics from the University of Lisbon and a PhD in Cell Biology (Neuroscience) from University College London (UCL). Following her doctorate, she continued at UCL as a postdoctoral researcher, investigating the role of stress granules in neuronal cell loss and exploring pharmacological approaches to modulate these structures and prevent cell death.
After transitioning from academia, Claudia moved into technology transfer, where she discovered a passion for helping researchers translate scientific discoveries into real-world impact. This ultimately led her to join the Search and Evaluation team at CRH in 2021, where she combines her scientific expertise with a strong interest in innovation and translation.
