Scientific & Medical Writer | Molecular & Reproductive Science Manuscript & Grant Writing, ChIP & RNA‑seq, Data analysis

Profile Summary

I am a freelance scientific writer with a strong research background in molecular and reproductive biology. As a PhD student studying transcriptional regulation of myometrial smooth muscle during infection‑induced preterm labor, I’ve gained extensive experience in ChIP‑seq, RNA‑seq, cell culture, mouse work, and primary cell isolation. My writing experience includes drafting and editing manuscripts and contributing to grant proposals. I help clients transform complex data into clear, compelling scientific documents, whether it's a publication ready manuscript, research summary, or funding application. I can also help you design graphical abstracts, data analysis, and formatting figures.
