PhD Biomedical Scientist with 6+ Years of Experience in Molecular Biology, Mammalian Cell Culture & Cell-Based Assays

Profile Summary

PhD Biochemist and Research Scientist with 6+ years of research experience in molecular biology, biochemistry, and mammalian cell culture. Experienced in cell-based assays, RT-PCR, qPCR, Western blotting, ELISA, gene expression analysis, protein estimation, and data interpretation. My doctoral research focused on the regulation of gluconeogenesis through the PI3K-AKT-FOXO signaling pathway in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat models, with emphasis on the antidiabetic and neuroprotective effects of low molecular weight chitosan. Currently working as a Research Scientist, with hands-on experience in maintaining adherent and suspension cell lines, experimental design, biochemical assays, molecular pathway analysis, and preclinical research. I have also worked on neurodegeneration, autophagy-related pathways, nanoparticle biosynthesis, and photocatalytic studies. I am additionally interested in scientific writing, literature review, research data analysis, and supporting biotech and life science projects.
