Profile Summary

I am a PhD-level Researcher with over a decade of experience in biotechnology, specializing in the molecular mechanisms of disease and biomarker discovery. My core expertise lies in Exosome Analysis, DNA Methylation profiling (WGBS), and Multi-omics integration. I offer high-level freelance support for biotech startups, academic labs, and diagnostic companies looking for expert data interpretation, NGS pipeline management, and high-impact scientific communication. Primary Services: Bioinformatics & Data Science: Analyzing WGBS, RNA-seq, and methylation data using R, GraphPad Prism, and Machine Learning frameworks. Scientific Writing: Expert drafting of peer-reviewed manuscripts, grant proposals (ICMR/NIH style), and technical white papers. (Published in Clinica Chimica Acta, Placenta, and Reproduction). Study Design & Protocol Optimization: Consulting on Exosome isolation (NTA/TEM), ELISA validation, and qRT-PCR experimental design. Biostatistics: Complex statistical modeling and data visualization for clinical and biological datasets. Key Technical Keywords: NGS (Whole Genome Bisulfite Sequencing), Exosome Isolation, Biomarker Discovery, Biostatistics (R), Epigenetics, CRISPR, ELISA Development, Clinical Diagnostics.
