What I'm looking for

I’m looking to leverage my MD training, lab methods, and bioinformatics/data analysis to support innovative research and evidence-based clinical practice—especially roles that value cross-disciplinary collaboration and rigorous, methodical inquiry.

I’m a Doctor of Medicine (MD) with a dual background in clinical sciences and biological research. I bring hands-on oncology and pharmacology laboratory experience, plus proficiency in bioinformatics workflows and data analysis to connect evidence to real-world practice.

Through my longitudinal and undergraduate research, I’ve built strong experimental design skills and advanced laboratory imaging and analytics. I’ve worked with techniques including PCR, Western blot, protein purification, gel electrophoresis, cell culturing, transfection, and recombinant protein expression in E. coli—while also developing computational biology strengths through network pharmacology.
