United Kingdom

PhD Neuroscientist & Biotech Consultant | Experimental Design, Therapeutics, Research Strategy & Data Analysis

プロフィール概要

I am a PhD candidate in Medical Sciences at UCL with 7+ years of hands-on research experience across leading international institutions, including the University of Oxford (UK), University of Alberta (Canada), Max Planck Institute (Germany), KIST (South Korea), and now UCL. My work focuses on developing therapeutic strategies for chronic pain conditions, combining molecular, cellular, and systems neuroscience approaches. I bring deep experimental expertise across multiple biological and translational modalities, including: • CRISPR-based gene editing • Immunohistochemistry and advanced microscopy • Calcium imaging and two-photon imaging • Electrophysiology (patch-clamp & neuronal recordings) • Rodent behavioural models • Surgical procedures in mice • Preclinical therapeutic evaluation • Experimental design and protocol optimisation In addition to my academic work, I contribute to a clinical-stage immuno-oncology biotech and have experience in translational strategy, scientific due diligence, and investor-facing materials. I am highly comfortable evaluating early-stage therapeutic platforms across neuroscience, oncology, molecular biology, and drug development. I can support clients with: – Experimental design & troubleshooting – Data analysis (Python, R, MATLAB) – Scientific & medical writing (manuscripts, grants, reports) – Literature reviews & evidence synthesis – Translational feasibility assessments – Biotech landscape and competitive analysis I combine rigorous scientific thinking with commercial awareness and clear communication. I am detail-oriented, structured, and committed to delivering high-quality work.
