Freelance Writer, Editor and Researcher | 20 years' experience in genetic research

Profile Summary

I'm a PhD scientist with 20 years' experience in genetic research, including 10 years managing a laboratory at a medical research institute in Sydney, Australia. I'm now a freelance writer and editor based in London, UK. I'm an expert at scientific communication, grant writing, manuscript preparation and editing - as well as project design, data analysis and statistics, ethics management, and teaching. I can write for you, edit for you, make beautiful figures for you, polish your grants and even help you design your experiments. I'm here to help!
