Research Assistant In Dental Projects
CurrentI have experience with techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a brain stimulation technique that is necessary for the proposed project on chronic pain; electromyography (EMG), which records muscle activity as well as assessment of muscle sensitivity and force transducer, all of which are vital components of the research plan.In addition, I hold a PG Diploma in Biostatistics, providing me with the necessary skills to analyze the data collected during the project. I am also currently enrolled in an advanced data analysis course, which will further enhance my ability to analyze and interpret the research findingsSince I have already drafted a rough manuscript, I can also provide valuable assistance in preparing the final manuscript for the project.Publications:1.
