PhD Structural Biologist | Scientific Evaluation, Biophysics & Research Consulting

Profile Summary

I am a PhD-trained structural molecular biologist and biophysicist with over 10 years of international research and academic experience across Europe and India. My primary expertise is in structural biology and biophysics, including protein structure–function analysis, macromolecular interactions, and interpretation of structure-derived biological insights. I work with academic groups, startups, and industry clients on scientific evaluation, research consulting, literature analysis, and content validation. I have extensive experience reviewing experimental data, mechanistic explanations, and scientific documents for accuracy, clarity, and conceptual consistency. In addition to research consulting, I provide expert support for literature reviews, manuscript and report evaluation, proposal review, and interpretation of complex biological data. I am comfortable working remotely on both short-term and ongoing projects and value clear communication, scientific rigor, and confidentiality.
