Biomedical Research Consultant | Experimental Design, Scientific Review & Strategy

Profile Summary

Translating complex experimental data into clear, rigorous and persuasive scientific narratives is often as challenging as generating the data itself. With over a decade of laboratory-based research experience and interdisciplinary training in Chemistry and Experimental Life Sciences, my work has focused on molecular biology, bioanalytical techniques (including HPLC and LC-MS), and experimental models within infection biology and cancer research. Independent scientific review and strategic support are offered for experimental theses, research manuscripts and project development. The objective is not simple editing, but strengthening methodological robustness, sharpening scientific argumentation and ensuring conceptual coherence throughout the work. Collaboration is particularly suited to graduate students, PhD candidates and early-stage researchers seeking structured, high-level feedback to elevate the scientific quality of their projects.
