Cover Letter.

As you can see in my CV, I am a Biochemist graduated from the Universidad Nacional del Litoral, Santa Fe, Argentina, 2003. Afterward I did a Biochemist Internship in Toxicology at the University of Buenos Aires. I worked as Head Manager of the Analytical Services Division, Analytical Chemistry Department at the National Comission on Atomic Energy (CNEA) during almost 10 years. Since February 2019, I am working as General Manager of start up startup process at SAMIC Cuenca Alta Hospital, as a Head of the Clinical and Environmental Toxicology Laboratory.
In my previous position, the main functions consisted on the coordination and training of the staff (professionals, technicians and administrative) and services in a multi-laboratory system that includes chromatographic, spectroscopic, and conventional analytical techniques in varied matrix. In addition, I managed the laboratory projects, budget assessment and accomplishment and general dealing with customers. Related to Quality Assurance I was in charge of the implementation and maintenance of a Quality Assurance System under ISO-IEC 17025; besides I have knowledge about NIOSH, ASTM, EPA, and GCP Standards.
The actual Clinical and Environmental Toxicology Laboratory has highly complex equipment (HPLC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS). Implementation of a QA system under ISO-IEC 17025, and budget and analytical planning from the beginning had been under my responsibility.
Additionally, I have skills in immunodiagnostics (ECLIA, ELISA, and specific techniques) and emergency laboratory.
After 15 years of experience as annalist and manager in analytical laboratories, I am willing to develop myself in the areas of Project Management, Quality Assurance and Analytics. I want to be part of a competitive and challenging environment where I can serve your organization and establish an enjoyable and successful career.
