Oscar W.に依頼

United States

PhD-trained molecular biologist helping clients with genomics, gene regulation and microscopy

プロフィール概要

I am a PhD-trained molecular and cell biologist with expertise in gene regulation, genomics, single-molecule microscopy, RNA biology, and scientific writing. My research has focused on transcription factor mechanisms controlling cell fate, including MyoD1 dosage, EWS-FLI1 function, AAV genome processing, RNA purification methods, and muscle regeneration. I can support projects involving experimental design, literature review, manuscript preparation, data interpretation, and clear communication of complex biological concepts.
