Postdoctoral Plant Biologist | Expert in CRISPR, Experimental Design, Quantitative phenotyping & Scientific Writing

Profile Summary

I am a plant biologist with a PhD from the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research (Germany), currently working as a postdoctoral researcher at CNR (Italy). I am a native Italian speaker but I have excellent English skills for scientific writing. My expertise lies in developmental genetics, a broad range of molecular biology techniques, and statistical analysis using R. I have worked extensively with CRISPR-based gene editing, quantitative phenotyping of mutant and segregating lines, and gene expression analysis in model and crop species. In addition to scientific writing and data analysis, I can support the design and implementation of experiments from scratch — including the setup of molecular markers for genotyping, customized approaches for quantitative phenotyping, and gene expression quantification using reporter constructs (for which I have developed my own analysis method as part of an ongoing study currently under peer review). I’m used to working in international research environments and enjoy translating complex experimental designs and datasets into clear scientific outputs. I offer freelance support for manuscript and grant editing, experimental design consulting, data processing in R, and figure refinement. While new to freelance consulting, I’m eager to apply my research experience to help others move their projects forward.
