Skilled scientific writer and researcher with 5+ years of experience in cell & molecular biology and neuroscience

Profile Summary

I'm a skilled scientific writer with a deep background in neurodegenerative disease (especially Alzheimer's and ALS), and neuroscience. I also have research experience in cell and molecular biology, cell culture techniques, cell signalling pathways and related fields. If you have a need for scientific writing of any kind including journal articles, blog posts, media content or similar, I'm able to help. I'm also a skilled literature researcher, and able to deep dive into a topic to create a review, summary or similar on your topic of interest.
