Profile Summary

I am a PhD scholar and research fellow with over 7 years of experience in organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, and cell biology research. My academic and laboratory background spans multistep organic synthesis, purification, and characterization of novel compounds, as well as cell culture studies, drug–compound screening, and mechanistic assays in oncology research. Alongside hands-on research, I have extensive experience in scientific communication. I specialize in preparing literature reviews, grant proposals, research manuscripts, and presentations. I am proficient in scientific editing, proofreading, and reference management, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and adherence to journal or funding guidelines. My expertise lies at the intersection of chemistry and life sciences, making me well-suited for interdisciplinary projects. Whether it is designing synthetic routes, interpreting biological data, or drafting a high-impact publication, I bring both technical depth and clear scientific writing skills. On Kolabtree, I offer support with: Scientific & technical writing (manuscripts, reviews, theses, grants) Editing & proofreading for grammar, clarity, and formatting Literature search and data analysis in chemistry, pharmacology, and cancer biology Research consulting in synthetic chemistry, drug design, and cell culture assays I am committed to delivering high-quality, well-documented, and timely work, tailored to meet the needs of academic, clinical, and industry clients.
