Profile Summary

Molecular Biologist (PhD) & Postdoctoral Researcher with 7+ years of experience in high-impact translational research. I have authored multiple peer-reviewed publications in international journals, including Biomolecules, Toxicology In Vitro, and Gene Therapy. My expertise lies in synthesizing complex data from functional genomics, human tissue models, and molecular assays into clear, publication-ready English manuscripts. ​Having secured prestigious scholarships and research grants in Australia and Germany, I provide specialized academic support to researchers and labs. I offer meticulous attention to scientific logic, data interpretation, and adherence to journal-specific reporting standards. ​Core Academic Services: ​Scientific Manuscript Preparation: Full drafting, structural editing, and language polishing for high-impact journals. ​Peer Review Simulation: Critical technical review of manuscripts to address potential reviewer concerns before submission. ​Grant Proposal Development: Assisting in the technical sections of funding applications (e.g., DFG, ERC, or University-specific grants). ​Dissertation & Thesis Advising: Structural and technical guidance for PhD/MSc candidates in the life sciences.
