Dr. Ansab A.に依頼

India

PhD-Level Medical & Scientific Writer | Specializing in Neuropharmacology & Academic Editing

プロフィール概要

I am a PhD-qualified Scientific and Medical Writer with a strong background in neuroscience, pharmacology, and biomedical sciences. I bring over 7.5 years of research experience in both academic and preclinical industry settings, including a postdoctoral position at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, USA, where I investigated neural circuit development and vocal communication in autism. My research has spanned diverse areas such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, neuroinflammation, brain insulin resistance, PTSD, and depression, with a focus on molecular pathways like PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β. I have hands-on expertise in techniques including stereotaxic surgery, confocal microscopy, CRISPR, Western blotting, qPCR, ELISA, and various behavioral assays. With a robust publication record (30+ peer-reviewed articles, h-index 15, >850 citations), I have also served as a reviewer for 400+ manuscripts in high-impact journals and hold editorial roles in journals like Neurotoxicology. Brain Sciences (MDPI), and JoVE. I have mentored graduate students, taught pharmacology and neuroscience, and possess strong skills in academic editing, scientific communication, and manuscript development. I am now seeking remote freelance or contract-based opportunities in scientific writing, editing, medical content development, or peer review support. I can contribute to grant proposals, literature reviews, manuscripts, clinical/preclinical content, and more.
