Structure for impact – in every image-based research project
Before you build the infrastructure, validate the architecture
Most implementation failures are diagnosed too late. CELLIMA intervenes before they become structural.
How I support your research with CELLIMA
I founded CELLIMA to help research teams like yours structure complex imaging and automation workflows – and turn them into scalable, future-ready systems.
With over 20 years of hands-on experience in pharmaceutical R&D, I support research teams in aligning technologies with scientific priorities.
The focus is not implementation support—it is validating whether the planned setup is structurally viable before time and capital are committed.
“The most expensive mistakes in imaging infrastructure are not technical — they are workflow design decisions made before the right questions were asked."

From strategy to structure – clarity that drives scientific progress
Strategic Technology & Workflow Design
Decision validation for technology choices and workflow architecture before rollout.
→ I help you navigate technology choices and reshape lab workflows to support your scientific direction.
Whether you’re evaluating AI-based imaging tools or scaling assay automation – the goal is a leaner, smarter setup with lasting impact.
Structured workflow diagnostic (fixed scope):
Assessment of misalignment between scientific intent and current infrastructure.
Output: written decision brief with defined options.
Duration: 5 weeks
High-Content Imaging Strategy
Pre-implementation assay + imaging architecture alignment (intent → execution constraints).
→ Support across the full HCI lifecycle: assay design, protocol development, image acquisition, data readiness.
I work with your team to ensure that scientific intent and technical execution are aligned – from microscope to insight.
Leadership Advisory & Decision Support
Decision-risk review for leaders facing hard-to-reverse infrastructure choices.
→ Advisory sessions and sparring formats for research leaders and decision-makers.
Ideal for moments of complexity, transition, or high-stakes decisions – when structured reflection is as important as expert input.
CELLIMA specializes in pre-implementation diagnostic assessment for high-content imaging and automation infrastructure in pharmaceutical and life science research.
Why work with me? Because science deserves structure.
I created CELLIMA to offer focused, science-driven consulting – built on clarity, structure, and real-world insight.
What you get is not generic advice, but direct sparring with someone who understands how modern research environments operate – both in science and decision-making.
Drawing on over two decades of hands-on experience in pharmaceutical R&D, I combine operational insight with strategic perspective – and the confidence to challenge assumptions when needed.
This is about enabling your team to act with clarity – not just to look good on paper.
Curious whether this fits your challenge?
Fresh thinking for complex research environments
In the CELLIMA Insights, I share questions, models, and real-world strategies that challenge the status quo – especially where biology meets data, and structure meets scale.

Let’s bring structure to your scientific journey.
Planning a workflow revamp, evaluating new imaging tools, or navigating change in your lab setup?
If your situation matches this scope:
CELLIMA is an independent advisory practice specializing in the design and validation of complex scientific research infrastructure — before implementation begins.
CELLIMA focuses on research platform architecture and decision validation, the structural layer that determines whether complex scientific infrastructure performs reliably at scale. This excludes assay development and equipment procurement; the practice addresses the structural layer that underlies both.
Organizations engage CELLIMA when planning new research platforms, integrating high-content imaging infrastructure, or validating infrastructure decisions prior to procurement — typically at the stage where errors are most consequential and least visible.
