PhD Virologist | Molecular Biology, CRISPR & qPCR Expert | Scientific Writing

Profile Summary

I am a PhD-qualified virologist based in Sydney, Australia, with deep hands-on expertise in molecular and cellular biology developed through my doctoral research into hepatitis B virus (HBV) and through an industry collaboration with a clinical-stage CRISPR therapeutics company. I have a strong record of scientific communication, including contributing data to peer-reviewed publications, drafting and revising manuscript sections, and preparing reviewer response letters. I am comfortable explaining complex molecular biology and virology concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences, and I bring the same rigour to written work that I apply at the bench. I am currently expanding into computational and data analysis skills, building proficiency in Python and R to complement my wet-lab expertise, with a particular interest in bioinformatics, genomics data interpretation, and NGS workflows.
