Profile Summary

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry, an MPhil in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, and a PhD in Medical Sciences, specializing in translational research. Throughout my academic and professional journey, I have gained a solid foundation in molecular techniques and a keen understanding of biochemical pathways, which has been instrumental in my work. My research has focused on predictive biomarkers in oncology, specifically investigating the NUB1 protein’s role in breast cancer, which has led to multiple published articles in peer-reviewed journals. Through collaborations with international research teams, I have broadened my expertise and contributed to impactful studies in life sciences. My research is designed to drive clinical translation, aiming for practical outcomes that enhance patient care. Professionally, I have worked as a medical writer for healthcare companies, producing high-quality scientific content that effectively communicates complex data. In my freelance role as a scientific consultant, I advise on thesis development, research strategy, and content creation, offering insights drawn from extensive hands-on experience in academia and industry. My combined skills in scientific communication, project management, and consulting allow me to contribute meaningfully to both research and medical writing projects.
