Biography

  Goal is to reveal protein mysteries in disease conditions. I am a curious scientist with 6+ years of experience, committed to understanding how molecular biology and recombinant protein engineering can be utilized to improve currently available therapeutics for infectious diseases such as Human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) infection, Chikungunya and Diarrhoea. I thrive in a fast-faced and dynamic team environment that challenges my capacity for problem solving and troubleshooting.
