Researcher skilled in Data Analysis, Epidemiology, and Mental Health | Turning complex data into clear insights

Profile Summary

I am a researcher in Epidemiology with a strong foundation in Pharmacology and Bioinformatics, offering expertise in both quantitative and biological sciences. My Master’s thesis investigated the human immune response to coronaviruses, with a focus on genetic polymorphisms in Interferon Lambda 3 and 4. This work deepened my experience in biostatistics, molecular biology, and data interpretation. I bring proven skills in statistical analysis, research design, and scientific writing, with a passion for connecting new findings to existing literature in meaningful ways. Alongside my biomedical research, I also work in mental health, exploring the intersections between health, environment, and psychological wellbeing—an area of growing importance in global health research. My research background includes projects on: Stability testing of Cefixime trihydrate under different environmental conditions. The effects of cell phone emissions on fruit flies. Preventive strategies for Naegleria fowleri–induced meningitis. I am open to collaborations on projects requiring biostatistical expertise, epidemiological insights, systematic reviews, data analysis, and interpretation of biological or mental-health research. My goal is to provide high-quality, evidence-based support that strengthens both academic and applied research outcomes.
