Profile Summary

I am a biotechnology researcher with expertise in fish collagen extraction, biomaterials, nano/microencapsulation, and nutraceutical applications. My research primarily focuses on the extraction and characterization of collagen from fish processing waste and its application as a sustainable biomaterial for the encapsulation and delivery of vitamin D₃. I have extensive experience in laboratory techniques including FTIR, DSC, TGA, DTG, SEM, SDS-PAGE, EDX analysis, cell culture studies, MTT assay, and physicochemical characterization of biomaterials. My master's research investigated the shelf-life enhancement and stability of fish collagen-encapsulated vitamin D₃, utilizing fish skin waste as an eco-friendly alternative to mammalian collagen sources. This work contributes to sustainable waste valorization and the development of novel delivery systems for bioactive compounds. In addition to biomaterials research, I have experience in biotechnology, microbiology, molecular biology, environmental biotechnology, wastewater treatment, and scientific data analysis. I am skilled in literature review, scientific writing, research proposal development, thesis preparation, data interpretation, and academic mentoring. I am passionate about translating scientific research into practical solutions for healthcare, nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and environmental applications. I welcome opportunities involving research support, scientific consulting, technical writing, data analysis, biotechnology projects, and educational content development. Key Skills: Fish Collagen Extraction, Vitamin D Encapsulation, Biomaterials, Biotechnology, Cell Culture, MTT Assay, FTIR, SEM, SDS-PAGE, DSC, TGA/DTG, EDX, Scientific Writing, Literature Review, Data Analysis, Nutraceutical Research, Environmental Biotechnology, Waste Valorization, Research Consulting, Academic Tutoring.
