Biography

Dedicated to advancing the field of Biomedical Sciences, I bring a unique blend of expertise as an MD with a Master’s and PhD in Molecular Biology and a Specialty in Hematopathology. With over 13 years of experience, I possess a robust foundation in basic and applied biomedical research. My current focus areas include unravelling the complexities of colorectal cancer and congenital cardiac diseases.

In my career, I have demonstrated exceptional organizational prowess in project management, problem-solving, and data analysis. From formulating proposals to executing experiments, I have overseen strategic planning, and project execution, and mentored postgrad students and medical residents at various levels.

Now, I am eager to embrace roles that emphasize continuous learning and collaboration. I am excited about the opportunity to work with an interdisciplinary team dedicated to driving innovation and excellence in patient care and research.
