About

•I am a Research Scientist of Crop Transformation at MaxGene Bioscience. In a research career spanning 26 years, I was a Junior Research Fellow of the Rockefeller Foundation, a doctoral fellow of the Hindustan Ciba-Geigy (presently Syngenta), and a post-doctoral fellow of the Rockefeller Foundation. <br> •My current research expertise - Plant Genetic Engineering, plant-based pharmaceutical compounds as integrative treatment options for cancer, mammalian and plant tissue culture, agrigenomics, bioinformatics aimed at molecular evolution of cancer protein domains, and phytoremediation to reclaim cultivable land near oil fields. •My transferable research skills - molecular biology, cancer biology, phytopharmaceuticals, plant biotechnology, and bioinformatics On the personal side....I am a natural storyteller and more specifically a "Science Storyteller" and am passionate about promoting citizen science. I am also a bibliophile (I read books with any interesting subject...my favorites being THE DOUBLE HELIX (by James Watson), THE COMPLETE WORKS OF O. HENRY, ZEN AND THE ART OF MOTORCYCLE MAINTENANCE, THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO GALAXY, and THE FOUNTAINHEAD....in that order!!!). My free time is devoted to the three M's...MUSIC, MOLECULAR BIOLOGY, and MOVIES.
