Hire Dr. Esteban Q.

Germany

Molecular biologist & biochemist (PhD) | Passionate about translating science to health impact

Profile Summary

I am a molecular biologist and biochemist with a PhD in Biomedicine (TU Dresden) and extensive expertise in cell biology, CRISPR/Cas9 editing, confocal microscopy, and cell culture. My research has focused on insulin mRNA storage and beta cell biology, resulting in first-author publications in high-impact journals. I also have a strong background in neurodegenerative disease research (ALS, FTD), drug screening, and molecular cloning. I enjoy mentoring, scientific writing, and transforming complex data into impactful insights. Passionate about bridging science and practical solutions, I offer deep technical skills, problem-solving abilities, and a collaborative mindset.
