Aspiring medical biotechnology professional with strong research skills.
MalawiWhat I'm looking for
I am a highly motivated and determined professional with a master’s degree in medical biotechnology. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in various laboratory procedures, including DNA, RNA, and protein extraction, as well as qualitative and quantitative testing. I have a proven ability to perform chemical, microscopic, and bacteriologic tests, which I honed during my studies at Edinburgh Napier University and Lovely Professional University.
In my recent role as a Scientist at SRG/Cignpost Diagnostics, I performed PCR COVID-19 diagnostics and ensured compliance with standard operating procedures to maintain a safe and efficient lab environment. My experience as a Customer Advisor at HMRC further developed my communication skills, allowing me to effectively resolve queries and provide exceptional service. I am eager to apply my expertise in research, diagnostics, or biotechnology sectors, where I can continue to learn and grow professionally.
