Profile Summary

I am Mehran Akhtar, a doctoral student with research experience in human genetics (especially neurogenetics, immunogenetics and Immunology), bioinformatics, microbiology and microbial comparative genomics and a wide experience in reviewing and critically analysing literature. I am currently studying as Doctoral Student in Neurogenetics at University of Leicester, UK. I am working on identification and role of different genes in eye development using Drosophila as disease models. I have published my own research paper in well-reputed journals, including Saudi Journal of Biological Sciences, International Journal of Immunogenetics, Journal of Genetics, Journal of Pakistan Medical Association and others, with currently a research paper under review in American Journal of Human Genetics and European Journal of Human Genetics. I have also worked as reviewer for Saudi Journal of Biological Sciences and Breast Cancer Journal. Furthermore, I am a professional editor and proofreader for scientific manuscripts, working as freelancer for more than 3 years and working for MogoEdit (http://en.mogoedit.com/) since December, 2019, and TopEdit (http://topedits.com) since January, 2021. I have edited a total of more than 100 articles published in reputed journals. You can view my scientific profile here: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Mehran_Akhtar2. I am sure our collaboration will be fruitful for both of us and we will enjoy working together. Looking for a positive collaboration Mehran Akhtar
