I am a medical doctor with a strong foundation in immunology and infectious diseases, currently pursuing a Ph.D. in molecular virology with a primary focus on HIV. My research centers on unraveling the molecular intricacies governing viral replication, pathogenesis, and immune evasion strategies employed by HIV. I am dedicated to translating these insights into cutting-edge clinical trial designs and translational research approaches to advance the fight against infectious diseases. My expertise lies in bridging the gap between molecular discoveries and clinical applications, positioning me as an excellent fit for roles in clinical trial leadership and translational research. With a background in mastering host-pathogen interactions and immune responses during my master's program, I am driven by a commitment to enhancing patient outcomes, offering strong analytical skills, and a fervent passion for driving innovative solutions in the field of infectious disease and immunology research.
