Freelance Medical Writer and Researcher | Skilled in Nanomedicine and R programming, compliant with ICH GCP

Profile Summary

I am a dedicated researcher with a strong background in nanomedicine and neurodegenerative disorders, particularly Parkinson's disease. I hold a PhD in Biochemistry. My research focuses on developing innovative therapeutic strategies, including the use of bio-inspired solid lipid nanoparticles for siRNA delivery targeting the LRRK2 G2019S mutation. I have extensive experience in laboratory management and researched. This is coupled with my certifications in ICH GCP (Norvartis) and R Programming (Google). My work has been published in high-impact journals and presented at national and international conferences, reflecting my expertise in both experimental and review papers. Additionally, I have demonstrated strong teaching abilities through ad hoc lecturing and mentoring roles, contributing to the academic development of students.
