As a multidisciplinary scientist holding a senior academic post at a world class university before becoming a freelance medical writer I have gained extensive experience in academic teaching, research, administration and management. I have hands on experience and knowledge of all aspects of molecular and cell biology both at the theoretical and practical level and the resulting scientific writing, presentations and communications. Novel biological reagents generated in my laboratory have been commercialised allowing me to develop marketing skills and commercial online technical content. I am a confident scientific speaker, presenter and communicator, fluent in English but also in Punjabi and Urdu.
