Rosario Sanchez

Scientific Manager and Ph.D. biomedical scientist with expertise in scientific project management, research administration, grant management, and translational research. Experienced in coordinating multidisciplinary programs, managing externally funded projects, regulatory and ethics processes, research budgets, and scientific publications. International research experience across Spain, USA, Germany, and Sweden, with a background in stem cell biology, neuroscience, regeneration, and communication.

Independently coordinated multiple neuroscience research projects, established new experimental workflows, and introduced advanced imaging and vascular delivery methodologies. Lecturer and supervisor for Master’s and Bachelor’s courses (Faculty of Biology, LMU), consistently achieving excellent teaching evaluations (1.49; German grading scale where 1 is highest). Applied vascular delivery techniques (intravenous, intra-arterial, and targeted delivery), in vivo microinjection, behavioral analysis, and 3D ima

Presented scientific progress and project outcomes during governmental and institutional research evaluations, contributing to a highly successful external review and continued institutional funding. Supported grant preparation, laboratory organization, and coordination of shared research resources. Collaborated within multidisciplinary research teams and contributed to project planning, data interpretation, and scientific presentations.

Generated and characterized transgenic animal models to investigate photoreceptor differentiation and retinal development. Performed multiplex immunostaining, fluorescence imaging and quantitative analysis of retinal markers.

Collaborated with clinical and research teams to investigate stem cell-based therapeutic approaches for retinal degeneration, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), supporting the development of clinically relevant therapeutic strategies. Applied in situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry, retinal tissue processing, fluorescence microscopy, and quantitative image analysis to evaluate retinal degeneration models.
