I am a passionate scientist with strong interest in biotechnology, drug design and pharmaceutical research. I have profound solid experience in molecular biology range from RNA to DNA extraction and quantification to gene expression and protein analysis. I have the ability to work independently and work in a team. I am always eager and curious to learn new things and further develop myself
