Recent MSc Molecular Biotechnology graduate passionate about scientific discovery.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I am a recent MSc Molecular Biotechnology graduate with a sharp eye for detail and a passion for scientific discovery. My hands-on experience in molecular biology, proteomics, and diagnostics has equipped me with a strong foundation in PCR, cell culture, and data analysis. I thrive in fast-paced, high-integrity lab environments, where I can confidently handle specimens and translate complex data into meaningful insights.
Throughout my academic journey, I have engaged in various projects that honed my skills in experimental design and data interpretation. For instance, I explored the therapeutic potential of Pevonedistat in treating non-small cell lung cancer, where I maintained strict cell culture protocols and conducted mass spectrometry to identify differentially expressed proteins. My experience as a Veterinary Laboratory Assistant further solidified my commitment to quality and compliance in laboratory settings, ensuring precise sample handling and data integrity.
I am now seeking an opportunity to apply my skills in a meaningful research or diagnostic role within biomedical science and molecular biotechnology. I am eager to learn from experts in the field and contribute to significant breakthroughs that can impact patient care and scientific understanding.
