Bioprocess & Metabolomics Expert | PhD Biochemical Engineering | LC-MS/MS Data Analysis (R) | Scientific Writing

Profile Summary

PhD biochemical engineer specialising in metabolomics-guided optimisation of mammalian cell culture systems. My doctoral research was conducted between the University of Bath (UK) and the Bioprocessing Technology Institute (A*STAR, Singapore), where I worked within an international research collaboration focused on improving serum-free myoblast proliferation in cultivated meat bioreactors. I support research groups and biotechnology companies in analysing complex LC-MS/MS datasets, optimising culture media and bioprocess performance, and translating experimental results into clear, actionable insights. My expertise spans the full metabolomics workflow, from experimental design and raw data processing through multivariate statistical analysis (PCA, PLS-DA, clustering, time-course modelling) and publication-quality visualisation in R. I have particular experience in: • Serum-free media development and optimisation • Mammalian cell metabolism and growth kinetics • Bioreactor performance analysis and scale-up considerations • Alternative protein and cultivated meat systems In addition, I provide scientific writing and research support, including manuscript preparation, literature reviews, grant development, and technical reports. I work independently, meet tight deadlines, and communicate complex results clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
