Food & Nutrition Scientist | Molecular Biology Expert for Functional Food Solutions

Profile Summary

Unraveling the Power of Food at the Cellular Level As a master’s trained food and nutrition scientist with hands-on expertise in molecular cell biology, I uncover how nutrients shape health, one cell at a time. My lab experience spans designing animal model studies and cellular assays to explore food functionality, from bioactive compounds to metabolic pathways. Whether you need a literature review on probiotics, a white paper on nutraceuticals, or data analysis for a nutrition study, I deliver rigorous, science-driven results with global insight.
