What I'm looking for

I seek research roles in nanomedicine or AMR with collaborative teams, hands-on lab work, and opportunities to publish and advance protocols.

I am a biotechnology graduate with hands-on research experience in nanotechnology, microbiology, and biomedical sciences, focused on synthesizing and characterizing metal nanoparticles and investigating antimicrobial resistance. I have led and contributed to multiple research projects, published in a peer-reviewed journal, and developed a thesis on ciprofloxacin-loaded histidine-capped silver nanoparticles demonstrating potent antibacterial activity.

I bring practical lab expertise across molecular biology, bioinformatics, and analytical techniques (ELISA, PCR, UV-Vis, FTIR, SEM), strong GLP/GMP awareness, and experience with data analysis and LIMS. I am eager to contribute to innovative research teams in nanomedicine, AMR, and biotechnology while continuing to refine protocols, optimize assays, and translate findings into impactful applications.
