PhD in Molecular Biology | Genomics, Bioinformatics & Scientific Writing Expert

Profile Summary

I am a PhD in Molecular Biology with extensive experience in genomics, bioinformatics, and academic publishing. My research has focused on comparative and population genomics of wild & domesticated animals, species identification through DNA analysis, and in-silico functional prediction of protein polymorphisms. I have authored and co-authored multiple peer-reviewed publications and developed expertise in: Bioinformatics data analysis Comparative genomics & molecular evolution DNA barcoding & species authentication Scientific writing, proofreading, and grant applications I specialize in helping researchers, startups, and organizations communicate complex scientific concepts clearly and effectively. Whether it’s editing manuscripts, preparing grant proposals, or analyzing genomic datasets, I ensure accuracy, clarity, and adherence to high academic standards.
