Scientific/Medical writer with experience in cancer biology and immunology

Profile Summary

Presently, working as a freelancer Scientific and Medical Writer. I have 9 years of experience as a Ph.D. scholar at Bose Institute. My Ph.D. thesis work is related to anti-tumor therapy. My complete research work is dedicated to cancer biology and cancer immunology. I am well versed in basic lab techniques. Perseverance and dedication in this field developed my scientific thoughts. A rigorous study of research and review articles of peer-reviewed scientific journals developed scientific reading and writing skills. I have written my doctoral thesis, assisted my Principal Investigator in the editing-proof reading of manuscripts (submitted to various scientific journals), and in writing research proposals, reports, and grants for Institute. As a scientific writer, I have dealt with Psoriatic Arthritis, Osteoarthritis, Huntington`s Disease, drug repurposing, and summary of drugs in clinical trials. The scientific write-ups related to medical conditions included clinical manifestations, epidemiology, genetics, mechanism of action, comorbidities (& their prevalence), classification, diagnosis, biomarkers, and therapy. Certified with honors Writing in the Sciences an online non-credit course authorized by Stanford University and offered through Coursera.
