Dr. Krithika R.に依頼

United States

PhD Molecular Biologist | Assay Development, Construct Design & Biotech R&D Support

プロフィール概要

Ph.D.-trained molecular biologist with over 10 years of experience spanning translational academic research and industry R&D in biotechnology. I specialize in experimental design, molecular cloning, mammalian cell culture, and assay development to support early discovery and platform development programs. My background includes designing DNA constructs, supporting antibody expression workflows, and developing application-focused experiments for nucleic acid and biologics platforms. In industry, I’ve led technical projects supporting pharmaceutical collaborations and worked closely with cross-functional teams across R&D, manufacturing, and product development to deliver reproducible, well-documented results. Earlier in my career, I conducted translational cancer research focused on biomarker biology, protein function, and post-translational modifications. I bring a strong bench-science foundation paired with a practical, results-driven mindset shaped by product-oriented environments. I offer consulting support in areas including molecular biology workflows, assay strategy and troubleshooting, construct design, experimental planning, data interpretation, and scientific documentation. I enjoy collaborating with teams to solve complex problems, improve experimental rigor, and accelerate research outcomes. I’m available for short-term consulting, experimental design support, technical reviews, and scientific writing projects.
