I am a PhD-level Molecular Biologist and Virologist with over 20 years of active research experience in academic and research laboratories. My career has spanned from viral genomics and protein chemistry to advanced cancer biology and drug discovery.
Why learn from a Scientist? Biology textbooks often present concepts as isolated facts, and this problem is compounded by the current information deluge on the internet, mixing facts and fiction. Young minds are often confused about what to absorb to become a critical thinker and succeed academically in the critical field of biology and medical science. As a career Scientist, I help students see the bigger picture. I don't just teach you what CRISPR or PCR is; I teach you how we actually use these tools to solve real-world medical problems. This approach is critical for students preparing for the MCAT (Bio/Biochem section), graduate school, or advanced undergraduate coursework.
My Teaching Focus: I specialize in breaking down complex, high-level topics into understandable mechanisms. My goal is to move you away from rote memorization and toward true scientific intuition, where you think and visualize the concepts rather than learn them.
Subject Areas:
•Molecular Biology and Microbiology: Basic and advanced concepts,
•Genetics: Classical genomics, human genomics concepts and techniques, and gene regulation and manipulation.
•Biochemistry: Protein structure-function, enzyme kinetics, and assay development.
•Experimental Design: Assistance with understanding lab techniques (Western Blot, ELISA, Confocal Microscopy) for research papers or thesis work.
Whether you are a pre-med student tackling the MCAT or a graduate student needing help with experimental design, I bring decades of bench-side experience to your study sessions.
