Highly skilled in various lab techniques and bioinformatics platforms. Seeking a position where I can contribute to cutting-edge research and development while expanding my technical and analytical capabilities.
### Professional Bio
I am a Biotechnologist and Bioinformatician with a strong academic and research background in molecular biology, cancer research, computational drug discovery, and structural bioinformatics. My research interests focus on the identification and characterization of potential anticancer therapeutics through the integration of experimental biotechnology with computational approaches.
My doctoral research focuses on exploring **hTERT inhibition for cancer drug discovery**, particularly through the screening and evaluation of small-molecule libraries and microRNA-based strategies. I have experience with **molecular docking, virtual screening, QSAR modeling, molecular dynamics simulations, and MM/GBSA analysis**, using computational platforms and tools such as Schrödinger Maestro, Glide, AutoDock Vina, Desmond, NAMD, and GROMACS.
As a Biotechnologist, I am particularly interested in applying **bioinformatics, structural biology, molecular modeling** to understand biological systems and accelerate the discovery of novel therapeutic candidates. My broader goal is to contribute to interdisciplinary research at the intersection of **biotechnology, computational biology, artificial intelligence, and precision drug discovery**.
