Profile Summary

I am a PhD in Biology with over a decade of experience in academic research, scientific writing, and peer-reviewed publishing. Currently serving as Managing Editor for the Journal of Reproductive Healthcare and Medicine, I specialize in manuscript development, journal editing, and publication consulting. My research expertise spans reproductive health, cancer biology, immunology, and nanomedicine, with 15+ publications in reputed journals. I offer end-to-end support in scientific manuscript writing, systematic reviews (PRISMA-compliant), literature reviews, and editorial assistance for academic submissions. I have worked on interdisciplinary projects involving molecular biology, bioinformatics, and nanotechnology. I bring a detail-oriented approach and deep understanding of journal guidelines, structure, and formatting for biomedical and life science publications. Whether you need help with scientific editing, publication readiness, grant writing, or meta-analysis, I deliver polished, journal-standard documents with scientific accuracy and editorial clarity.
