Molecular exercise physiologist with 10+ years of research experience and an established publication portfolio

Profile Summary

I am a molecular biologist and exercise physiologist with a specialized focus on muscle physiology, cellular senescence, and aging. My research expertise spans the fields of transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, integrating these 'omics' technologies with targeted molecular approaches. I have extensive experience in conducting investigations in both cell culture models and human participants, and my technical skills encompass study design, data analysis, and manuscript writing. I have years of experience designing and conducting experiments in both cell culture models and human participants, covering all aspects from study design to data analysis and manuscript writing. My current work examines the molecular mechanisms of muscle aging, including extracellular vesicle biology, and I have contributed to a growing body of knowledge on damage-induced cellular senescence. Lastly, I have published extensively in peer-reviewed journals and presented my findings to lay audiences and scientists at several international conferences.
