PhD Protein Biochemist | Expert in NMR & Structural Biology | Scientific Writing & Publication Support

Profile Summary

I am Dr. Arpita Tawani, a PhD-trained protein biochemist with 6+ years of international postdoctoral experience in France and the USA. My expertise spans protein expression and purification, isotope labeling, NMR spectroscopy, and biophysical assays (CD, ITC, fluorescence, DLS) for structural and mechanistic analysis. I have investigated biomolecular interactions. Alongside my research, I provide scientific writing, editing, and data interpretation support for high-impact publications and grants. I also specialize in scientific writing, editing, and data visualization, and I am highly proficient in Adobe Illustrator for creating publication-ready scientific figures and schematics. I combine technical precision with clear, engaging presentation, helping researchers and biotech teams craft manuscripts, grant proposals, and figures that meet high editorial and scientific standards.
