Presenting: Meritxell Orpinell, Team Lead Professional Services at Benchling
Curious by and about Nature; this is my journey. Fascinated about the mechanisms of life, I started with a degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Barcelona, followed by a Masters in Biotechnology and a PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at IRBB. My scientific research, conducted across different Research Institutes (IRBB, Forkerparken, IGBMC, EPFL, UniL), had a focus on Cell Cycle and Metabolic Control. When understanding the beauty of nature expanded beyond the bench, it was time to explore new horizons. Moving towards translational research started by small-scale molecular screenings for anti-cancer agents, and culminated at large scale by managing software implementations for Clinical Trials at ERT/Clario. Working to improve Clinicians Practice and Patients' quality of life was equally challenging and rewarding. After 5 years operating in the clinical space, I joined Benchling as Engagement Manager, soon transitioning to my current role as Leader forProfessional Services. At Benchling, I am helping to streamline scientific processes in silico, hence expediting the path from bench to market.
