Photobiology and skin cancer expert offering mechanistic and translational research consulting.

Profile Summary

I am a biomedical researcher and consultant with over 15 years of experience in skin biology, photobiology, pigmentation, and melanoma research. As Founder of PhotoOncology & Skin Science Consulting LLC, I provide scientific and strategic consulting to help clients design, interpret, and advance innovative projects in UV/light-induced skin damage, melanin biochemistry, redox signaling, and oncogenic pathways. My expertise spans mechanistic experimental design, grant concept development (NIH, DoD, SBIR/STTR), and translational strategy for academia, startups, and biotech partners. I specialize in connecting fundamental discovery science with applied photoprotection and cancer prevention solutions — including sunscreen evaluation, oxidative stress mechanisms, and novel therapeutic targeting in melanoma. I offer concept framing, data interpretation, manuscript development, and proposal refinement for projects requiring deep mechanistic insight and translational focus. My goal is to help research teams and innovators craft work that is scientifically rigorous, impactful, and fundable.
