Dr. Karen S.に依頼

United States

PhD Microbiologist | Virology, Immunology & Molecular Diagnostics | Data Analysis & Research Design

プロフィール概要

I am a PhD-trained microbiologist and Immunology Section Head with extensive experience in virology, immunology, and veterinary diagnostics. My work integrates molecular biology, serology, and applied diagnostics to support disease surveillance, research development, and laboratory decision-making. I specialize in helping laboratories, researchers, and veterinary professionals design and execute studies, analyze complex datasets, and interpret diagnostic results with scientific rigor. My expertise includes serological assay development and interpretation (ELISA, IFA), molecular diagnostics (PCR-based methods), and infectious disease research across multiple species. I have led and contributed to research projects focused on viral pathogenesis, host-pathogen interactions, and emerging disease surveillance, including ongoing work in avian influenza virus, canine distemper virus, and equine infectious diseases. I am also actively involved in grant writing and scientific communication, developing competitive research proposals aligned with national funding priorities. Services I provide include: Research design and experimental planning Data analysis and interpretation (GraphPad Prism, serology datasets) Scientific writing (manuscripts, grants, reports) Diagnostic consultation and assay interpretation Literature review and synthesis I bring a detail-oriented, results-driven approach and a strong ability to translate complex scientific data into clear, actionable insights. My goal is to support clients in achieving high-quality, publication-ready, and impactful outcomes.
