Profile Summary

Gold Medalist Medical Laboratory Scientist with an M.Phil in Molecular Biology and Forensic Science, specializing in computational biology, bioinformatics, and in-silico drug discovery. Experienced in molecular docking, virtual screening, ADMET analysis, and network pharmacology for drug discovery and therapeutic target identification. Author of multiple peer-reviewed publications in oncology, cancer therapeutics, and computational pharmacology, with research contributions in journals including PLOS ONE, Scientific Reports, Cytotechnology, and European Journal of Medical Research. I provide scientific and medical writing services including research manuscripts, literature reviews, systematic reviews, grant proposals, and technical documentation. I also support computational biology projects involving protein–ligand interaction analysis, structure-based drug design, and bioinformatics data interpretation. My research interests include cancer biology, drug resistance mechanisms, phytochemical-based drug discovery, and translational biomedical research. I focus on integrating computational and molecular approaches to support evidence-based drug development and precision medicine.
