Driven by a commitment to excellence in scientific research and communication, I bring a unique blend of expertise as both a Scientist and an Editor. With a Ph.D. in Biotechnology and over 5 years of postdoctoral experience, my work focuses on natural product chemistry, mammalian cell-based assays, and bioinformatics-driven drug discovery. My journey has been enriched by significant contributions to the field, including leading the authorship of three books published by Elsevier and contributing to 16 peer-reviewed journal articles.
