Profile Summary

I am a senior immunologist and cancer biology researcher with over 14 years of extensive experience across both academia and the biotechnology industry. My background includes designing, leading, and supporting preclinical projects involving the evaluation of novel therapeutic strategies, immune modulation, and functional immunology assays. I have developed and optimized biologics-related in vitro and in vivo workflows, collaborated with multidisciplinary teams, and delivered data-driven scientific recommendations. In addition to research and experimental design, I have strong experience in scientific writing, including literature reviews, research summaries, study protocols, and manuscript preparation. Throughout my academic career, I have published over 10 peer-reviewed articles, including first-author papers. I am skilled at translating complex scientific concepts into clear, accurate, and well-structured documents suitable for researchers, biotech companies, and early-stage startups. I am particularly experienced in: - Preclinical functional study design, optimization, validation, and data analysis & interpretation - Immunology and oncology research support - Scientific writing (reviews, reports, protocols, and manuscripts) - Experimental troubleshooting and strategic project planning - Cross-functional communication between academic and industry teams I aim to provide reliable, detail-oriented scientific support to clients who need expertise in immunology, preclinical models, and high-quality scientific communication.
