Profile Summary

I am a Pharmacology PhD researcher with expertise in cancer biology and leukemia research, complemented by over five years of clinical research and regulatory experience in the pharmaceutical industry. My expertise spans both bench-based preclinical research and clinical investigation, giving me a strong understanding of both discovery science and clinical development environments. I have extensive experience designing and executing preclinical studies using zebrafish disease models, high-throughput drug screening, advanced cell-based assays, biochemical experiments, RNA sequencing, metabolomics, and proteomics — along with their associated data analysis and visualization workflows. My clinical research background provides me with insight into the therapeutic development pipeline and regulatory landscape, enabling me to position preclinical findings toward clinically relevant and strategically aligned outcomes. I am an experienced scientific and medical communicator with a proven track record of developing and publishing high-impact manuscripts from concept to submission. I handle outline and storyline development, data visualization, drafting, revision, and submission management. I have published original research, methods papers, and reviews in high-impact journals and regularly prepare abstracts, posters, and presentations for scientific conferences. I am highly proficient in tools including GraphPad Prism, ImageJ, R, Partek Flow, MetaboAnalyst, BioRender, Adobe photoshop, Adobe illustrator, and EndNote. I also serve as a peer reviewer for journals including Drug Discovery Today and European Journal of Pharmacology and others.
