Rashmi also has experience working on orthopaedic biomaterials, having worked on calcium phosphate, tri-calcium phosphate, as well as strontium-substituted hydroxyapatite coatings to enhance osseointegration and mechanical compatibility in orthopaedic implants.
Rashmi has a PhD in Mechanical Engineering (Joining Technologies for Cardiovascular Implants). Her research focused on maximising the durability of new-generation cardiovascular implants including transcatheter aortic valves and stent-grafts.
As Medilink’s International Manager, Rashmi leads the International Consultancy Unit, applying her deep understanding of medical device regulations, materials science and translational research to guide companies in medical technology, diagnostics and digital health. She works closely with Medilink members and clients to help them navigate through complex regulatory frameworks, reimbursement systems and market access strategies to identify and develop global commercial opportunities.
Before joining Medilink North of England, Rashmi worked as a R&D Scientist at BioEpic, where she focused on signal processing and physiological data extraction, developing Python-based algorithms to analyse heart rate (HR) and heart-rate variability (HRV) metrics from photoplethysmography (PPG) signals. She also gained experience in regulatory submission and technical documentation as a Technical Consultant with Genpact, supporting Pfizer in preparation and delivery of regulatory dossiers for global health authority submissions across multiple therapeutic portfolios.
Rashmi’s unique blend of technical, regulatory, product development and market-access expertise enable her to bridge the gap between product innovation and international commercialisation.
