USD 30 /hr

Biochemist. Speaking 6 languages. Expert in embryonic hematopoiesis, single-cell transcriptomics, teaching and writing.

Profile Summary

I have completed a postdoc in mouse embryonic hematopoiesis at EMBL Rome in Italy, a postdoc in cellular iron metabolism at the Institute of Predicted and Personalized Medicine in Barcelona, Spain, and a Ph.D. in Structural and Molecular Biochemistry from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel. I have a total of 13 publications, 5 of them as a first or equal-contribution author. During my work, I have been assisting scientists with planning and performing their experiments. My research experience includes fluorescence techniques (FACS, epifluorescence, and confocal microscopy), differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells, working with mammalian primary cells and cell lines and working with mice. I also have experience in various technical aspects of biochemistry and molecular biology, like Western blots, immunofluorescence, qPCR, site-directed mutagenesis and single-cell transcriptomics. In addition to the above, I also have teaching and mentoring experience. I’ve mentored trainees and taught in graduate and undergraduate courses. I speak six languages (Russian, Hebrew, English, French, Spanish and Italian). I will be glad to contribute to your projects in science, in writing and in translation.
