Profile Summary

I’m a PhD-trained microbiologist with 5+ years of international postdoctoral experience in antimicrobial resistance (AMR), CRISPRi functional genomics, Staphylococcus aureus pathogenesis, and natural product-based drug discovery. My expertise bridges experimental microbiology and computational analysis, enabling me to support diverse scientific and translational research projects. I offer services in: CRISPRi design and gene essentiality screening support Whole genome sequencing (WGS) data analysis and AMR gene profiling Scientific writing and editing (grants, manuscripts, reviews) Data visualization and figure preparation (Adobe Illustrator, R) I’ve published in peer-reviewed journals, collaborated with immunologists and bioinformaticians, and contributed to multidisciplinary teams across the US and UK. I'm passionate about helping researchers and early-stage biotech teams turn complex data into impactful publications and proposals. Let’s work together to accelerate your science with precision and clarity.
