PhD exercise biochemist: expert in molecular biology, exercise biochemistry & scientific writing

Profile Summary

I’m a PhD-trained exercise biochemist with extensive experience in molecular physiology, experimental design, and scientific communication. My research background spans cellular and biochemical mechanisms of muscle adaptation, metabolism, and performance, complemented by hands-on expertise in molecular assays, rodent physiology models, and data analysis. As a scientific writer and editor, I specialize in transforming complex research into clear, publication-ready content for academic, clinical, and industry audiences. I’ve produced peer-reviewed manuscripts, grant applications, white papers, and technical resources across diverse life-science disciplines (including molecular biology, analytical instrumentation, and preclinical research). I offer services in: Research design consultation and data interpretation Scientific and medical writing (manuscripts, reviews, and grants) Editing
