About

I am a results-driven multidisciplinary biomedical researcher with 15 years of hands-on experience in biomedical research. Demonstrated expertise in applying the scientific method to disease characterization, diagnosis, and treatment, along with a comprehensive understanding of experiment design, execution, and data analysis. Possess exceptional communication and presentation skills, facilitating effective collaboration with healthcare professionals, key opinion leaders, and cross-functional teams. Skilled in translating complex scientific information into accessible terms for diverse audiences, honed through experience as an educator and medical writer in Asia, the Middle East, and the USA. Proficient in utilizing medical databases, conducting literature searches, and staying abreast of medical advancements. Proven track record of contributing as a scientific resource for internal teams, aiding in product development and strategic planning. Experienced in organizing and delivering scientific presentations, seminars, and advisory meetings to educate healthcare professionals and enhance product/mechanism knowledge. Seeking and securing funding has been crucial to my academic career, as my positions have been supported by government grants. I have extensive experience in content creation and administrative tasks for grant applications.
