Freelance Bioinformatician | Expert in Drug Discovery, Vaccine Designing, Microbial Meta-Analysis, Network Pharmacology

Profile Summary

I am a freelance bioinformatician and biotechnologist with a multidisciplinary background in molecular biology, nanobiotechnology, environmental biotechnology, and computational biology. With 22 peer-reviewed publications, a book chapter, and hands-on experience in both academic and professional research settings, I specialize in drug discovery, vaccine design, microbial meta-analysis, genome annotation, proteome analysis, gene expression analysis of cancer-related disorders, and network pharmacology. My passion lies in decoding the biological mechanisms behind environmentally induced health disorders and bridging the gap between clean environments and human well-being through data-driven, non-toxic, and cost-effective solutions. I offer expert-level services in genomic and proteomic data analysis, using platforms such as RAST, NCBI, UniProt, InterProScan, and KEGG for functional annotation and pathway mapping. For microbiome analysis, I work with tools like PATRIC, MG-RAST, and Microbiomeanalyst, and for molecular modeling and docking, I utilize AutoDock, PyRx, SwissDock, PyMOL, Chimera, and AlphaFold. I have successfully delivered international freelance projects focusing on drug/vaccine design, characterization of hypothetical proteins, microbiome meta-data analysis and network pharmacology. In addition to my technical capabilities, I am an experienced scientific writer and have served as a trainer in national workshops on advanced bioinformatics and recombinant biotechnology. I am committed to delivering scientifically rigorous, publication-ready outputs that support global research and innovation in health and environmental sciences.
