What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote, asynchronous contract opportunities where I can apply biochemistry/biotechnology expertise to experimental planning, manuscript development, peer review, and rigorous scientific writing and editing.

I’m a PhD-trained biochemist and biotechnology subject matter expert with extensive academic research experience spanning enzyme kinetics, biomaterials, tissue engineering, bioanalytical methods, and rapid diagnostic technologies. I bring rigorous scientific problem design, evidence evaluation, and clear step-by-step reasoning in English through strong literature synthesis and data interpretation.

As a published author and peer reviewer, I support teams with factorial experimental design, full factorial optimization, manuscript development, technical editing, and quality assessment. I’m also experienced in interdisciplinary grant preparation and asynchronous contract work, including peer review and scientific communication across biomaterials, enzymology, biomedical engineering, and additive manufacturing.
