Bioengineer, Nanomedicine Scientist, Pharmacist, Sci_Communicator

Profile Summary

I am a Pharmacist and Bioengineer with years of experimental research experience, specialized in nanomedicine, non-viral vehicles for gene therapeutics (plasmid, siRNA, shRNA), and genome editing (CRISPR), protein drug delivery, biomedical polymers, Lipid Nanoparticles (LNPs), and drug target identification. As Sci_communicator, I combine PhD-level scientific knowledge with professional art design to produce eye-catching self-explanatory scientific illustrations, professional level power point slides, and write scientific articles, grant proposals, and book chapters in the fields of Materials Science, Chemistry, Pharmaceuticals, Life sciences, Medical Science, and Biological Sciences. I have contributed to top-tier scientific journals such as Nature, Journal of Controlled Release, Biomaterials etc and govt level grant proposals like CHIR. I am a result-oriented person and very passionate to contribute to the Science and Science Communication.
