PhD Molecular Biologist | Lab Operations, Quality Management & Scientific Communication Expert

Profile Summary

I am a PhD-trained Molecular Biologist with extensive experience in neuroscience research, diagnostic laboratory operations, quality management, and scientific communication. My academic and research background includes hands-on work in advanced molecular and cellular techniques, along with exposure to international research environments. Currently, I work as a Diagnostic Lab Quality Manager, where I oversee laboratory operations, implement quality systems aligned with NABL / ISO xxxxxxxxxx standards, and ensure compliance with regulatory and accreditation requirements. I am actively involved in developing and reviewing laboratory documentation, including SOPs, validation protocols, and quality manuals. In addition to my operational role, I contribute to training and mentoring students and professionals through structured programs, focusing on practical laboratory skills in Molecular Biology and Microbiology. This combination of research, diagnostics, and training enables me to bridge the gap between academic science and real-world laboratory applications. I offer consulting and freelance services in: Scientific writing, editing, and manuscript preparation Thesis and dissertation support Literature review and technical content development Diagnostic laboratory setup and workflow optimization Quality systems implementation (ISO xxxxxxxxxx) I am detail-oriented, reliable, and committed to delivering high-quality, scientifically accurate work within agreed timelines.
