Summary

I am a highly motivated MSc Cancer Immunotherapy graduate with a strong foundation in microbiology, molecular biology, immunology, and cancer biology. My academic and research experiences have provided extensive hands-on training in cell culture, molecular techniques, bioinformatic analysis, and in vivo model studies. I am proficient in a wide range of laboratory methods, including aseptic technique, PCR, RT-qPCR, gel electrophoresis, RNA and DNA extractions, Western Blotting, ELISA and other basic immunological assays. I am seeking an opportunity to begin my career in a laboratory-based role, where I can apply my skills and contribute to meaningful scientific work. I am ready to relocate closer to the job site as soon as possible.
