What I'm looking for

I seek a role in laboratory or research support where I can apply regulatory knowledge (REACH/CLP), contribute to experimental work and reporting, and grow in biochemical or environmental research.

I am a chemistry graduate with hands-on experience supporting chemical engineering research laboratories, skilled in laboratory techniques, report writing, and collaborating effectively in team and solo settings. I have applied domain knowledge in REACH and CLP regulation, environmental impact assessment, and contributed to published research on HIV-1 protease folding stability.

I bring practical experience with laboratory material handling, computational tools such as FoldX and Modeller, and strong communication and problem-solving abilities. I seek opportunities where I can apply my technical knowledge, continue learning in biochemical or environmental research, and contribute to rigorous, regulation-compliant projects.
