Profile Summary

I am a Life Sciences researcher with a PhD in Biological Engineering and strong academic training in molecular biology, cell biology, genetics, physiology, and analytical chemistry. My doctoral research focused on studying and mitigating acrylamide formation in processed foods using amino acids, combining experimental laboratory work with computational modelling. This included extensive use of techniques such as HPLC, LC-MS, ICP-MS, flow cytometry, ELISA, western blotting, and in vitro cell-based assays to investigate oxidative stress, apoptosis, and autophagy. I have experience designing and executing independent research projects, analysing biological data, and presenting results through structured scientific writing. I have authored and co-authored peer-reviewed publications and am comfortable with manuscript preparation, editing, and responding to reviewer feedback, ensuring accuracy and clarity in scientific content. In addition to research, I have teaching experience as a Graduate Teaching Fellow, where I supported undergraduate life sciences courses and developed the ability to explain complex biological concepts clearly and step by step. My skills are well suited for projects involving biology education, scientific writing and editing, data analysis, and research support within the life sciences. I am detail-oriented, reliable, and comfortable working independently on remote projects while meeting deadlines.
