Profile Summary

I am a Biochemistry researcher, with a strong foundation in molecular biology, physiology, and metabolomics. My work focuses on the biochemical and metabolic mechanisms underlying disease, with particular expertise in HIV, metabolomics, and immunometabolism. Over the course of my academic career, I have developed hands-on experience in RNA extraction, PCR, flow cytometry, NMR spectroscopy, and GC×GC-TOF/MS. In addition to laboratory research, I have experience in data analysis, scientific writing, and academic editing, with proficiency in interpreting complex biochemical data and communicating findings clearly to both technical and general audiences. I have published several peer-reviewed papers in international journals. I am passionate about translating biochemical insights into meaningful scientific outputs—whether through manuscript preparation, data interpretation, or collaborative research projects.
