Hire Dr. Alex G.

Canada

Experienced content writer and social media manager with expertise in biomedical research.

Profile Summary

I earned a Ph.D. in Biology from Concordia University investigating the molecular mechanisms of aging in yeast and studied as a post-doctoral fellow in the fields of oncology, pharmacology, toxicology, and medicine. Highly skilled in marketing, medical writing, scientific editing, as well as cell and molecular biology, drug screening, and pre-clinical testing. I also copy-edit and proofread with an exceptionally high level of attention to detail.
