I'm looking for a scientific role where I can apply skills in scientific reasoning, experimental design, and data interpretation while continuing to learn new tools and contribute to collaborative research.

@harryfrith
I am a 27-year-old genetics graduate from Stellenbosch University with a strong passion for scientific discovery and innovation.
What I'm looking for
My postgraduate research and professional experience have provided me with extensive training in scientific reasoning, experimental design, and analytical problem-solving across advanced biological disciplines. I routinely designed and conducted molecular biology experiments involving plasmid vector construction, molecular cloning, PCR and qPCR analysis, promoter characterization, and the development of transgenic plant systems. This work required rigorous experimental planning, systematic troubleshooting, careful data interpretation, and a strong commitment to scientific accuracy and reproducibility. A major aspect of my research involved analysing and interpreting complex biological data and communicating findings clearly and logically through scientific writing and presentations. I regularly evaluated experimental outcomes, identified methodological limitations, and developed structured solutions to research challenges. I am a highly motivated, detail-oriented, and adaptable individual who works effectively both independently and collaboratively. I value clear communication and open collaboration to achieve meaningful scientific outcomes. I constantly strive to improve upon every aspect of my life and hope to flourish professionally, emotionally, socially, and physically. Above all, I believe in maintaining a high standard of respect for myself and others.
