Biotechnologist & Neuroscientist | DPhil (Oxford PhD) in stem cell research and CRISPR technologies

Profile Summary

I'm a technology-driven researcher with 10+ years of experience in the fields of neuroscience (Alzheimer's disease), stem cell biology (iPSC research, from line generation to differentiation of various cellular models) and CRISPR technologies (gene KO/KI and gene expression modulation with CRISPRa/i). With a passion for writing, I can help you craft or edit any piece of technical writing that requires deep understanding of the subject and adaptability to transfer the knowledge to any audience.
