I'm Nella C. Delva, Ph.D. — a neuroscientist, data scientist, and research advisor who has spent a career moving between the bench, the blog, and now the boardroom, translating complex science into decisions, stories, and products people can actually use.
Study design, data interpretation, and scientific strategy for teams working in neuroscience, molecular biology, and biomedical research.
Manuscripts, grant narratives, and public-facing science writing that stays rigorous without losing the reader.
Machine learning pipelines, biomarker analysis, and applied statistics — from raw data to a working, interpretable model.
A six-gene whole-blood RNA signature and the PenetranSci app, tested on eight public studies (779 people), to help find which patients carry the biology a treatment targets. A laboratory engine based on patient-derived neurons is in development.
Reflections on research, resilience, and life as a Haitian-American scientist working across continents.
On building a career — and now a company — that doesn't sit inside one country's borders.
