What I'm looking for

I am looking for remote roles in biotech or clinical research, focusing on innovative projects and opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated Biotech Researcher with over 5 years of academic and industry experience, specializing in drug design, molecular profiling, and clinical research. I have a proven ability to lead innovative studies in diabetes, cancer, and environmental remediation, which is reflected in my strong track record of peer-reviewed publications and patent contributions. Currently, I am pursuing an Advanced Diploma in Clinical Research to expand my skill set into Clinical Data Management (CDM) and Contract Research Organization (CRO) domains.

In my role as an Assistant Professor at RVS College of Arts & Science, I have delivered in-depth lectures on biotechnology and mentored over 50 undergraduate students in wet lab techniques and in silico modeling. My commitment to enhancing academic quality has resulted in significant improvements in student satisfaction and placement participation. As a Research Fellow at Bharathiar University, I led independent research in drug discovery, successfully publishing multiple papers and co-inventing a patented method for synthesizing lithium nanoparticles from plant extracts.
