PhD Cancer Biologist | Scientific Manuscript Editor | MSCA Seal of Excellence | 7+ Years in Molecular Oncology

Profile Summary

I am a PhD molecular cancer biologist with 7+ years of post-graduate research experience and a proven publication record in high-impact oncology and cell biology journals. As a first author, I have published in Oncogene, BBA Reviews on Cancer, BBA Molecular Cell Research, and Molecular Cell — journals that demand rigorous mechanistic clarity, precise data narration, and compelling scientific storytelling. I have also co-authored research in Chemico-Biological Interactions, International Journal of Pharmaceutics, and Cell Cycle, and contributed three book chapters to Springer, spanning encyclopedic signalling biology to post-COVID global health analysis. This breadth reflects my ability to adapt my scientific voice to diverse audiences, from specialist reviewers to interdisciplinary readers. I specialise in scientific manuscript editing, grant proposal writing, and pre-submission peer review for researchers in cancer biology, ubiquitin–proteasome systems (UPS), deubiquitinase (DUB) biology, DNA damage response, and proteomics. Unlike general editing services, I bring deep domain expertise — I understand the science behind your data, which means I improve not just your grammar and syntax, but your logical flow, mechanistic reasoning, figure–text alignment, and reviewer readiness. I have mentored junior PhD students through their first manuscript submissions and trained researchers in LC-MS/MS proteomics data interpretation and scientific writing standards at the Regional Centre for Biotechnology (RCB). I hold the MSCA 2025 Seal of Excellence (88.2%) from the European Commission, awarded for a postdoctoral fellowship proposal that exceeded the EU quality threshold. This distinction reflects my ability to craft competitive, high-stakes scientific narratives under strict word limits and evaluation criteria. I work extensively with ESL authors, junior faculty building their first lab papers, and postdocs preparing fellowship applications for MSCA, NIH, Wellcome Trust, and ICMR. Whether you need a polished manuscript for Nature, Cell, or Science-family journals, a strategic reviewer response, or a winning grant proposal, I deliver publication-ready work with fast turnaround. Available for one-time projects or ongoing retainer arrangements.
