Balestrieri
Hello!
I am a graduate student in the Master of Biotechnology Program at North Carolina State University with strong interests in microbiology, molecular biology, and genetic engineering. Passionate about the intersection of science and business, I am particularly interested in the commercialization of innovative technologies. I am actively seeking opportunities to contribute to innovative and impactful projects in the biotechnology industry that connect scientific innovation and market success.
Career Objective
I was drawn to the MMB program at NC State both because of its prime location right outside North Carolina's Research Triangle Park and its unique interdisciplinary curriculum that blends science and business education to prepare students for roles in all facets of the biotechnology industry.
My passions lie in leveraging molecular genetics and the innovative applications of genetic engineering to address critical challenges in human health. I aspire to contribute to this dynamic field in business-focused roles such as product marketing, product management or business development, where I can bridge the gap between scientific innovation and real-world impact.
