I have been a biology researcher for more than a decade, and having worked at some of the best institutions in the world, including Yale University and Salk Institute. My background: BSc in Human Genetics, Master’s degree in Neuroscience. My PhD focused understanding the inner workings of telomeres and how they relate to aging and cancer. For my postdoc research, I have worked on super-resolution microscopy, CRISPR editing, and regenerative medicine. My research has been awarded with the 2020 Salk Women & Science Award. More recently, I have worked as a consultant in the genomic sequencing industry to help deliver thousands of NSG assays (including RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, single cell experiments) to customers all over the world.

I have a deep understanding of molecular biology, cell biology, epigenetics and NGS /sequencing technologies and are familiar with the most cutting-edge research tools in the field. I have written numerous grant applications both for academia and for private sectors.

As an educator, I believe in a personalized approach. I focus on cultivating student’s awareness of their own learning (i.e. metacognition), showing them how to build lasting knowledge structure, approach complex problems and stay resourceful.

Feel free to contact me for any questions or schedule a session.

P.S. I no longer accept last minute request for exam/homework preparation." less...
