How blood-borne molecules reach the brain — informing minimally invasive drug delivery.
How pathological tau disrupts insulin signaling, linking Alzheimer's to metabolic dysfunction.
Irisin as a biomarker linking depression and dementia, with diagnostic potential.
How elevated IL-6 links metabolic disturbance and memory loss in Alzheimer's.
Tau's role in memory, mood, and metabolism, shown in knockout and humanized mice.
I'm a neuroscientist with over 10 years of experience across academia and the private sector. After a PhD at Queen's University and postdoctoral research at the Gladstone Institutes / UCSF, I now help healthcare companies and research teams translate complex data into clear, high-impact content.
"Every project is unique — and so is my approach. I deliver client-focused, customized work, on time, without compromising rigor."
A PhD and 10+ years of biomedical research bring rigorous, credible subject-matter depth.
I understand academic and industry demands — delivered on time, without compromising quality.
Complex data translated into clear messages for grants, publications, and stakeholders.
As an independent consultant, every engagement is client-focused and customized.
Rafaella turned a dense dataset into a manuscript our reviewers barely questioned — clear, rigorous, and on time.
The literature review she delivered became the backbone of a funded grant. Exceptional synthesis and judgment.
Her edits sharpened our argument without ever flattening the science. We'll absolutely work with her again.
