M.S. Genomics & Molecular Biology Consultant | Published Co-Author | QA/QC & Assay Optimization

Profile Summary

I am a Master of Science (M.S.) in Genomics and a Molecular Biology Consultant with over 7 years of experience in high-stakes academic research and regulated laboratory environments. My expertise is built on a foundation of rigorous scientific standards, specializing in experimental design, qPCR assay optimization, and DNA/RNA extraction. As a co-author on several peer-reviewed studies in Alzheimer’s disease research, I was responsible for the high-throughput processing of DNA/RNA samples and the execution of ultra-sensitive assays using Simoa (Single Molecule Array) technology. I managed genotyping workflows and ensured data integrity for large-scale clinical cohorts, contributing to findings on biomarker stability and ancestral generalizability. I provide biotech and academic clients with quality-driven, scientifically rigorous solutions. My core consulting services include: Assay Optimization: PCR/qPCR assay development, DNA/RNA extraction, and genomic sequencing workflows. Regulatory Compliance: Active GLP & GCP certifications; ISO 7 cleanroom environmental monitoring, and pathogen/mycoplasma detection to ensure product safety. Scientific Writing: Co-author of multiple peer-reviewed studies; available for manuscript editing, literature reviews, and experimental design consulting.
