Maria about working at Qserve
I’m passionate about helping manufacturers to provide a suitable clinical evaluation that suits their profile. I have experience in working with engineering solutions in the orthopedic field. I look forward to expand my knowledge working with clinical evaluations of medical devices.
Before Qserve:
Maria holds 6 years of experience as a researcher in the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine field, where she acquired a broad interdisciplinary experience in material science, cell biology and biofabrication. In particular, she worked on projects aiming at developing injectable anisotropic hydrogels for tissue engineering applications, as well as 3D printed biodegradable implantable scaffolds for bone regeneration.
Her interest in translational science led her to collaborate in an animal pre-clinical study testing her designed materials. She has further completed a clinical research associate (CRA) training program, where she gained knowledge on clinical research regulations and monitoring of clinical trials.
As medical writer within Qserve, Maria is involved in planning and preparing Clinical Evaluations, varying from writing Clinical Evaluation plans and reports and performing literature searches to preparing Post-Market Clinical Follow-up strategies and plans. To do so, Maria uses her knowledge of Clinical regulatory requirements and works together with different disciplines across organizations with the aim to provide a suitable clinical evaluation that suits the profile of the manufacturer. Maria holds a MSc in Biomedical Engineering from FH Aachen University of Applied Science, Germany and a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Maastricht University, The Netherlands.
