@saintlaya
Multidisciplinary laboratory scientist and AI data annotator skilled in clinical biochemistry and medical transcription.
What I'm looking for
I am a multidisciplinary laboratory scientist with an MSc in Clinical Biochemistry and a First Class BSc in Biomedical Sciences, experienced in clinical biochemistry, microbiology, analytical chemistry, and human cell culture research.
I have led and contributed to research projects isolating and characterising antimicrobial compounds, and investigated the skin microbiome’s role in inflammatory responses using quantitative assays such as ELISA and MTT, producing thorough lab reports and accurate data analysis.
Alongside bench work, I am a skilled medical transcriptionist (reported typing speed and accuracy: 72–85 WPM with ~99% accuracy) and an AI data annotation specialist, performing high-quality labeling across text, image, audio, and video to support NLP and computer vision projects.
I bring strict adherence to protocols, strong attention to detail, proven confidentiality with HIPAA-compliant handling of sensitive data, and the ability to meet tight deadlines while maintaining high quality across scientific, clinical, and AI-driven tasks.
