Peptide Biochemist & Mitochondrial Biologist with >5 years experience in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

Profile Summary

I am a research assistant currently working on mitochondrial biology and cell penetrating peptides to try and treat cancers that are dependent on mitochondrial respiration. I have worked for more than 5 years in the field and have recently submitted my PhD thesis on the above research areas. I can offer advice and feedback on biotechnological, biochemical, molecular biological and peptide biochemistry endeavours. With several research articles and review articles published in peer review journals, I can offer help with scientific writing related to my fields of expertise. If you require any assistance in any of this areas please do not hesitate to get in touch.
