Molecular Biology, Immunology, and Oncology Research Expert with Extensive Science Writing and Editing Experience

Profile Summary

With a PhD in Immunology from Yale University and Postdoctoral experience at Novartis in the Oncology department, I am well-equipped to conduct a range of scientific research, writing, consulting, and editing tasks pertaining to both the Pharmaceutical Industry and to Academic research. Topics of my current and recently completed projects have included CRISPR-based screens aimed at identifying the molecular basis for the efficacy of a novel therapeutic antibody, efforts to clarify the molecular basis for bladder cancer recurrence, and studies of the metabolic and age-related factors which govern susceptibility to influenza virus infection. The results of these projects have been published in leading journals including Science and Nature Reviews Immunology. In addition to a broad-based scientific foundation and exposure to a wide range of scientific topics, I have over 5 years of experience as a freelance science editor/writer, and I am available to consult on a diverse array of projects.
