PhD Scientist | Expert in Proteomics, Protein Purification & Structural Biology | 15+ Yrs Biomedical Research

Profile Summary

I am a PhD-trained biomedical scientist with over 15 years of research experience in proteomics, protein purification, structural biology, and analytical biochemistry. My work has contributed to high-impact publications in Molecular Cell, Nature Communications, and PNAS, with recognized discoveries in membrane protein regulation and ion channel biology. I specialize in protein expression and purification, mass spectrometry-based proteomics, cryo-EM structural analysis, and biochemical assay development. I’ve successfully led NIH-funded projects, enriched multi-protein complexes from native tissues, and provided mechanistic insights through advanced analytical and molecular biology techniques. As a detail-oriented and collaborative researcher, I help clients solve complex biological problems, interpret experimental data, and develop robust methods for therapeutic protein characterization or basic research.
