About Jean Baptiste

I am a neuroscientist consultant specializing in translational research, pharmacogenomics, and bioinformatics, with a focus on drug discovery and preclinical development. My background combines hands-on expertise across in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo experimental models with strong computational skills (transcriptomic data analysis, custom ImageJ macro, R-based analytical pipelines).

I work with biotech companies, pharma teams, academic labs, and investors who need scientific support across the full development cycle: identifying and prioritizing high-potential candidate compounds using literature and multi-omics data, reviewing preclinical strategies and experimental designs, and strengthening scientific positioning for fundraising, partnerships, publication and due diligence. On the data side, I build custom pipelines for transcriptomic and multi-omics datasets, develop ImageJ macros for quantitative microscopy, and deliver clear visualizations and interpretations tailored to your audience.
Scientific writing is a core part of what I do. I support teams with manuscript preparation, reviewer responses, and funding applications. My own Marie Skłodowska-Curie proposal was awarded the Seal of Excellence. I know what funding agencies and reviewers look for, and I help teams present their science in a way that is both compelling and credible.

With over ten years of research and project management experience, a first-author publication in Nature Communications (2024), a patent on CNS remyelination therapies, and a business certificate from INSEAD, I combine scientific depth with a clear understanding of strategic and operational constraints.

All missions are carried out remotely, with structured deliverables and reliable communication at every step. Feel free to reach out, I would be glad to explore how I can contribute.
