What I'm looking for

I’m looking to contribute my laboratory experience, scientific research skills, and analytical thinking to a collaborative pharmaceutical or healthcare team.

I've built hands-on laboratory experience at Affidea’s Microbiology & Histopathology laboratory, supporting microbiological, biochemical, immunological, molecular, and histological testing.

I perform antibiotic susceptibility testing, culture media preparation, plating, staining, microscopy, ELISA, blood grouping, DNA extraction, electrophoresis, UV-Vis spectrophotometry, and laboratory data entry through SLIS/LIS systems.

For my Biomedical Science thesis, I investigated liposomal curcumin in a topical cream using DPPH, Folin–Ciocalteu, and UV-Vis analyses. The findings were selected for potential submission to the International Journal of Cosmetic Science, and I’m eager to contribute my scientific knowledge and analytical approach to pharmaceutical and healthcare teams.
