Scientific writer with expertise in grants, publications, and journalism.

Profile Summary

I am a biomedical professional with 20+ years' experience in the fields of stem cell biology, protein signalling networks, and regenerative medicine. I hold a Ph.D. in Molecular Oncology and Immunology, and my current job title is Assistant Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology at Weill Cornell Medicine. I primarily study protein signalling and transcription factor-mediated control of developmental pathways important for stem and progenitor cell differentiation and specification. I am currently focused on drug discovery in target areas relevant to regenerative medicine. I can accomplish a wide variety of scientific writing projects, particularly for grants, publications, and descriptive or educational purposes to scientific and lay audiences.
