About

I am a dedicated researcher and educator with over 12 years of experience in biotechnology, specializing in genetic characterization, DNA marker identification, next-generation sequencing (NGS) tools, bioinformatics, and meta-analysis. Holding a Ph.D. in Biotechnology, I have made substantial contributions to the field through numerous publications in high-impact journals. My research focuses on developing wheat germplasm with enhanced rust and drought tolerance, identifying aphid resistance traits, and conducting genome-wide analyses of gene families, particularly the sucrose nonfermenting‑1‑related protein kinase (SnRK) genes in passion fruit. I have expertise in using bioinformatics tools such as BLAST, HMMER, MEGA, TBtools, MEME, BWA, MAPS, VEP, and Linux for genomic data analysis, phylogenetic studies, motif prediction, and gene expression profiling. Additionally, I am skilled in molecular techniques such as qRT-PCR, gene cloning, overexpression studies, and plant tissue culturing. My extensive project management experience includes successfully coordinating multidisciplinary research efforts and developing genetic improvement strategies aimed at enhancing stress resilience in crops. Proficient in Python, R, statistical analysis software, Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, I excel in data analysis, statistical computing, documentation, data visualization, and presentation preparation. Known for my collaborative, adaptive, and friendly approach, I foster productive working relationships with colleagues and thrive in dynamic research environments. I am fluent in spoken and written English and am enthusiastic about bringing my expertise and passion for cutting-edge research to tackle new challenges and contribute effectively to your team.
