About
Research professional with 10+ years of experience in protein production, analysis and functional construct designing. Seasoned Protein Biochemist with wide range of protein handling skills, from peptides to large protein complexes. Accomplished in Structural Biology, Molecular Biology and Cell Biology with knowledge of laboratory protocols, quality procedures and analytical instrumentation. Exclusive ability to adapt any fast-paced research environment and continuous learning. As a biochemist, I am interested to explore the potential of biofuels, bio-electricity, and bio-based products as viable alternatives to traditional fossil fuels. My dual focus on drug discovery and bioenergy exemplifies the immense potential that biochemistry holds in shaping a healthier and more sustainable world towards a brighter future for mankind. Outside lab, I am a passionate cook and gardener. My love for Biochemistry extends to my kitchen where I do experiment with various spices to satisfy the taste buds and gardening is the expression of my connection to earth with deep-rooted love for nature. I strive to create a healthier, happier world for all and my commitment, resilience, and passion to work for human well-being can make me a transformative force in any organization.
