Profile Summary

PhD-level molecular biologist with 25+ years of experience in microbiology, bacteriophage biology, and biotechnology. I currently serve as CEO of a biotech startup and Deputy Director of a private research institute, with hands-on experience in research leadership, project design, and scientific communication. I have authored over 50 peer-reviewed articles (Q1/Q2 journals) and serve as an academic editor at Frontiers in Microbiology. My expertise includes scientific writing/editing, grant proposal development (Horizon, COST, national EU funding), and R&D consulting for life sciences and biotech projects. What I offer: - Manuscript writing, editing, and journal submission support - Grant proposal writing (EU, international, industry-academic) - Literature reviews and technical documentation - Research design, budgeting, and consortium planning Let’s collaborate if you're seeking high-quality, publication-ready content or strategic support for funding applications in the life sciences.
