PhD in Microbial Biotechnology | Expert in Protein Expression, Purification & lab setup | Ready to collaborate

Profile Summary

I hold a PhD in Microbial Biotechnology and bring over 15 years of experience in protein expression and purification, genetic engineering, and molecular biology. My work spans both academic and industrial settings, with a strong focus on upstream and downstream process development in bacterial and mammalian systems. I have led multiple research and development projects, coordinated teams, and designed state-of-the-art laboratories. My expertise also includes consulting on project initiation, troubleshooting low protein expression, and optimizing purification workflows. I have authored over 30 scientific publications and am passionate about translating scientific knowledge into practical, high-impact solutions.
