About Belinda M, Brain Chemist
With 3 years of industry and 10+ years of academic research experience as a neurochemist/neurotoxicologist for both the private and public sectors (including biotech, contract research orgs and big pharma companies) Belinda's breadth of knowledge and skill within the cell/gene therapy space - and how these skills can be leveraged to solve today's challenges - is diverse and easily transferrable across disciplines. Belinda has a demonstrated history of developing and producing academic research to study molecular mechanisms of complex behaviors/systems over the past 10 years, not only as a research scientist but also as an ardent caregiver, intent on providing rigorous, evidence-based research to inform the best treatment and care for mothers and their families. Currently, Belinda is building her consulting business, Neural Sprouts Consulting, LLC with GLG and information services. As a global biotechnology and pharmaceutical company project developer, she works beside clients to create streamlined plans for new research ventures and create customized support for integration with pre-existing research workflows. Belinda is also founder and sole proprietor of SoulSprouts, a hub for young people to actively engage with, learn from, and explore the human mind, in a way that is not taught in school or treatment centers. She uses her gifts and talents as a scientist, artist and storyteller to create an accessible world for all, where mental illness, health and wellbeing is normal conversation. In her free time, Belinda enjoys reading, making art, and tirelessly advocating for better access to mental health education and care for all, especially for those most vulnerable.
