Yousef Farag

I’m a research scientist with over six years of experience in biotechnology, analytical development, and clinical research. My career has focused on understanding complex data, managing cross-functional projects, and supporting innovations that move science closer to patients.

I’ve worked with leading biotech companies such as Autolus and Quell Therapeutics, where I developed and validated analytical methods, presented findings to senior stakeholders, and contributed to a CAR-T cell therapy project presented at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) conference. Earlier in my career, I managed laboratory operations at Smart Cells International, leading teams, improving workflows, and maintaining compliance with GMP, GCP, and HTA standards.

I combine scientific precision with practical problem-solving — from onboarding new technologies and mentoring colleagues to translating data into clear insights. I’m passionate about applying my scientific expertise and communication skills in roles that connect research, strategy, and real-world healthcare impact.

I have over six years of experience in biotechnology and clinical research, working across analytical development, data interpretation, and project coordination. I’ve supported multiple cell therapy programs at companies such as Autolus and Quell Therapeutics, managing cross-functional studies, presenting data to stakeholders, and ensuring compliance with GMP and GCP standards. My experience combines strong technical expertise with communication and problem-solving skills, allowing me to bridge the gap between scientific detail and strategic decision-making.

I hold a Master’s degree in Skin Science and Regenerative Medicine from the University of Bradford, where I researched how platelet lysate influences human fibroblast wound healing responses. I also earned a Bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Sciences from the same university, providing a strong foundation in human biology, molecular science, and analytical techniques.
