PhD Immunologist | 9+ years of experience in Flow Cytometry Data Analysis, Experimental Design & Scientific Writing

Profile Summary

I am a PhD-trained immunologist with over 8 years of experience in biomedical research, specializing in flow cytometry, data analysis, and experimental design. My work focuses on the study of immune responses in disease contexts, with extensive hands-on experience in multicolor flow cytometry, including panel design, optimization, troubleshooting, and high-dimensional data analysis. I routinely work with complex cytometry datasets using FlowJo, applying advanced analysis techniques such as t-SNE, UMAP, FlowSOM, and other clustering approaches to extract biologically meaningful insights. I have also trained researchers and students in cytometry workflows, from experimental setup to data interpretation and figure generation for publication. In addition to cytometry, I have strong experience in data analysis and statistics, working with tools such as GraphPad Prism, Python, and data visualization platforms. I support projects involving statistical analysis, data interpretation, and the generation of clear, publication-ready figures and reports. My academic background includes research in immunology and biomedical sciences, as well as over 9 years of teaching experience in undergraduate programs in Biochemistry and Pharmacy, where I teach human biology, immunology, and pathology. I also provide scientific writing, editing, and proofreading services for manuscripts, grant applications, and technical documents in the biomedical field. My approach combines technical accuracy, clarity, and consistency in scientific communication. I am particularly interested in supporting projects involving flow cytometry data analysis, experimental design, immunological research, and scientific writing. I work closely with clients to ensure accurate interpretation of results and high-quality deliverables tailored to their research goals.
