PhD. Plant Molecular Biologist | Experimental Troubleshooting | Epigenetics & Chromatin Research

Profile Summary

I am a molecular biologist with strong experience in experimental research, protocol optimization, and troubleshooting in plant biology and epigenetics. I have hands-on experience with sequencing-based techniques, epigenomic assays, and data analysis workflows. I particularly enjoy solving complex experimental problems. When experiments do not work as expected, I analyze potential sources of failure and redesign protocols to improve reproducibility and efficiency. My expertise includes: • Experimental design and troubleshooting • Chromatin and epigenetics research • Sequencing-based assays • Protocol optimization and method development • Scientific data analysis and interpretation I am comfortable working independently and collaborating with small research teams. I enjoy helping researchers improve experimental strategies, interpret results, and develop robust protocols. Services I offer include: • Scientific consulting • Experimental design and protocol development • Troubleshooting laboratory methods • Data interpretation and analysis • Scientific writing and editing
