PROFESSIONAL PROFILE

I am a biotechnology academic and researcher with a focus on molecular biology, genetic characterization, and molecular diagnostic approaches. My research vision is to investigate the molecular basis of genetic variation and complex biological conditions, and to support the translation of reliable molecular methods into practical, evidence-informed applications. I am interested in collaborative projects that connect academic research with industry needs through method development, technical knowledge exchange, and student-led research.

CORE RESEARCH & CONSULTANCY AREAS

• Molecular biology and genetic characterization
• PCR-based analysis and molecular detection approaches
• DNA/RNA extraction, quantification, and gel electrophoresis
• Sequence analysis and basic bioinformatics support
• Research design, data interpretation, and scientific writing
• Student research mentoring and collaborative project development

RESEARCH VISION

To advance biotechnology-based research that improves understanding of disease-associated genetic variation and strengthens molecular diagnostic research. I aim to build collaborative, student-centred projects that bridge fundamental molecular investigation with practical research outcomes, while supporting responsible experimental practice and the development of local research capacity.

POTENTIAL INDUSTRY COLLABORATION

• Joint research projects with diagnostic laboratories and biotechnology companies on molecular methods and genetic characterization.
• Technical discussions or collaborative evaluation of PCR-based workflows, sample processing, and molecular assay performance, within available facilities and approvals.
• Research support involving sequence data interpretation, literature review, experimental planning, and scientific reporting.
• Co-supervision or industry-linked final-year and postgraduate projects addressing clearly defined biotechnology problems.
• Knowledge exchange, research seminars, and exploration of grant or partnership opportunities.

RELEVANT RESEARCH EXPERIENCE & ACADEMIC CONTRIBUTION

Research and teaching activities include molecular biology and biotechnology education, student research supervision, and support for research planning and scientific communication. Specific project outcomes, publication titles, and laboratory facilities can be provided or discussed in line with the requirements of a proposed collaboration.

RESEARCH & SUPERVISION SNAPSHOT

POTENTIAL PARTNERS

• Molecular diagnostic and clinical laboratories
• Biotechnology and life-science companies
• Research institutes and universities
• Organizations seeking academic research input, student projects, or method-focused collaboration

COLLABORATION APPROACH

Each collaboration would begin with a discussion of the industry problem, expected deliverables, available methods and facilities, data and sample requirements, ethics and biosafety considerations, timelines, and authorship or intellectual-property arrangements. The scope of work would be agreed jointly before a project begins.
