What I'm looking for

I’m seeking remote roles in scientific review, medical or scientific writing, and clinical research support where accuracy and clear communication matter.

At Royal Care Hospital – Royal Labs, I performed blood and body-fluid analyses, including CBC, lipid profile, and glucose testing. I operated biochemistry analyzers and hematology counters while following laboratory safety and quality control standards.

At Genetech, I supported PCR procedures, Gram staining, and other molecular biology techniques as a Molecular Lab Intern / Research Assistant. I also assisted research students with experiments and data recording, and handled sample preparation and storage.

My final-year research examined the irrational use of respiratory tract medications in Sri Lanka through a systematic review. The abstract was published in the ICTAR 2025 Proceedings, and I presented a poster at the conference; I’m also pursuing an MSc in Clinical Biochemistry and hold ICH-GCP certification.
