Profile Summary

I am an Animal Genomics researcher and biotechnology consultant with over 15 years of experience in livestock genetics, genomics, scientific research and academic consulting. I hold a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree with a Gold Medal for academic excellence and have received several prestigious awards, including the Best Young Researcher Award, Best Teacher Award (twice) and Star Laureate Award in Agricultural Sciences. My research focuses on animal genomics, genetic diversity, genome-wide association studies (GWAS), SNP analysis, bioinformatics and livestock genetic improvement. I have successfully identified novel genomic regions associated with economically important traits in indigenous livestock, contributing to sustainable breeding programs and animal health research. I have authored more than 90 peer-reviewed publications in ISI-indexed journals and have presented my research at international conferences in the USA, Australia, the Netherlands, Mexico, Malaysia, Thailand, UK, Vietnam and Türkiye. I also have extensive experience in designing and managing research projects, scientific writing, manuscript editing, grant proposal development, statistical data analysis and publication support. I provide professional consultation to researchers, students, young biotechnologists. I am part of university Directorate of student affairs, Business Incubation Centre and various career counceling student bodies. We organize regular training sessions for professional counseling and guidance. Now, iam excited to join Kolabtree network to expand my audience range. My goal is to deliver scientifically rigorous, publication-ready work that helps clients achieve successful research outcomes while advancing innovations in Biotechnology and research.
