With over 17 years of experience in academic and industrial laboratory environments, my current work focuses on molecular biology and next-generation sequencing (NGS).

I am also experienced in virology, including cell culture and transfection workflows, as well as industry-based laboratory work under GMP conditions, and I have an understanding of quality standards, documentation requirements, and regulated processes.

I recently contributed to the establishment of an ancient DNA laboratory, assisting with laboratory setup, workflow development, and project coordination.

In addition to laboratory work, I have experience of teaching and supporting students in practical and research settings, focusing on developing technical skills and independent scientific thinking.

I am particularly interested in molecular techniques, NGS applications, and project-based research, including method development, laboratory workflows, and the generation and interpretation of scientific data.
