in the United States

I am a wet-lab trained Computational Biologist with expertise in: - Developing complex custom analysis pipelines for RNA-seq data - Processing and analyzing data from large-scale public databases e.g ENCODE - Subject matter expertise in Stem Cell Biology, Epigenetics, Aging, and RNA biology

I'm a retired academic with 30 years' experience in life-science research, education and publishing. So I understand your problem, as I've spent decades helping people just like YOU. Here’s how I can help with your scientific or medical project: –Literature search, systematic review, and meta-analysis –Experimental design and sample size estimation –Descriptive statistics and data visualization –Advanced bivariate and multivariate modeling and hypothesis testing –Technical illustrations, graphical abstracts and flowcharts –Content editing for theses, articles, grants, fellowship applications and full-length books –Copy editing for grammar, logic, brevity, flow and adherence to academic citation styles –General coaching, strategizing and career development for life-science researchers at any career stage, whether you are a MS candidate or tenured faculty. Everyone needs a helping hand from time to time. I can start from scratch or work with YOUR existing materials. I’m skilled with tools like PubMed, EndNote, Zotero, LaTeX, Prism, R Studio, Photoshop and Illustrator. For more advanced bioinformatics tasks, I use Expasy, GEO, NCBI, UniProt, and genome browsers like Ensembl and UCSC. As my postdoc advisor once said, "You can explain it to 100 people one at a time, or you can write a great set of instructions." So if you need a manual, protocol, or Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), I can help with that too. Using my deep experience writing clear instructions for labs and classrooms, I can cover every topic: experimental workflow, equipment maintenance, how-to guides or whatever might be your critical need. A little more about ME: I have a BA from Yale and a PhD from the University of Chicago. I led an NIH-funded research lab for 23 years and published 25+ peer-reviewed journal articles. I’ve reviewed over 50 scientific manuscripts and scored grants for the NIH, NSF, and DOD. I have a current certification in Molecular Biology from the American Society of Clinical Pathology (ASCP) with deep expertise in molecular pathways and in vitro/ in vivo models of human disease. As a Full Professor I taught cell biology, histology, human development, ecology, evolution, epidemiology and statistics classes. And let's end with US. Because together, we might be unstoppable.

I am a former biomedical researcher with a knack for writing and an eye for detail. My skill sets include writing scientific articles, technical content and web copy; editing manuscripts, technical writing and grant proposals; and designing and troubleshooting experiments. I find projects that allow me to make complex, technical subject matter accessible and compelling to any individual particularly rewarding, and my broad skill set and experience make me an ideal candidate for projects in small businesses, research labs and startups. My professional experience began as an award-winning biology instructor at the college and university levels, teaching entry- through graduate-level courses for over three years. Over the next decade, I performed highly technical heart research, where I discovered a new form of dilated cardiomyopathy and developed and implemented a gene therapy treatment in a mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. I now work exclusively as a science consultant and freelance writer.

Immunologist & Bioinformatician | Wet-Lab Trained, Computationally Fluent Your experimental data shouldn't be sitting in a folder waiting for someone who understands both the biology and the code. That's what I do. I'm an Immunologist and Data Scientist (M.S. in Computer Science, PhD Candidate in Immunology) with 6+ years at the intersection of wet-lab science and high-dimensional data analysis. I've run the assays, prepped the libraries, and built the pipelines to analyze them - so when I work with your data, I'm interpreting it with real biological context, not just processing files. I help biotech startups, R&D teams, and academic PIs turn complex biological datasets into clear, publishable, statistically sound results. What I do: • Single-cell RNA-seq analysis end-to-end: QC, clustering, differential expression, annotation, and publication-ready figures (Seurat, Scanpy, DESeq2, edgeR). • Machine learning and predictive modeling: Applied to biological data for classification, biomarker discovery, and pattern recognition (scikit-learn, PyTorch). • Therapeutic target discovery: ML-driven identification and prioritization of novel drug targets from multi-omics data. • Agent-based modeling of immune systems: Simulating cell-level dynamics to study infection, inflammation, and immune response in silico. • Custom pipeline development: Reproducible, version-controlled, documented workflows in Python, R, and Bash, built specifically for your experimental setup. • Flow cytometry and microscopy analysis: Gating strategies, high-parameter panels, and quantitative image analysis (FlowJo, Fiji/ImageJ, CellProfiler). • Experimental design and publication support: Grant writing, methods sections, figure preparation, and statistical consulting. My Scientific Domain: I specialize in immunology, with deep expertise in mucosal immunology, host-pathogen interactions, and immune profiling. This ensures your data is analyzed through the lens of actual disease mechanics. My work has directly contributed to successful projects published in Science Advances and Nature Communications Engineering. If you have a project that needs both biological depth and computational rigor, send me a message. I offer a free introductory call to discuss your data and map out a plan.

Hi! Thanks for taking a look at my profile. My name is Jessie and I am a writer who specializes in scientific topics, with Microbiology, General Biology/Health, and Public Health being my favorite topics to write about. I've been here on Upwork for almost ten years (!!!) now and am coming back from a hiatus because I am now paying for my wedding! Let's collaborate -- you need something written, and I need to pay for this wedding, so let's chat! One important thing about me is that I am 100% COMPLETELY AI FREE! None of my authoring or edits come from the usage of generative AI. Every word I write is conjured behind these big glasses and typed manually. I believe generative AI has done disastrous and irreversible repercussions onto the freelance writing world, with people paying for AI slop when they expect quality work. I have a BS. in Cell, Molecular, and Infectious Disease Biology (obtained in 2017) from Washington College, where I was a noted research fellow. I currently have been working as a microbiologist since 2019, and I currently work as a Quality Research Microbiologist in a global chemical research company. For my own privacy, I will not be posting the location. I hope you understand! Here on Upwork, I've done so many different projects. I've acted as a Lab Manager, an IRB member, and (the most common) a scientific author. I think my favorite is writing! Here's what I offer and my rates: Copywriting: $0.06 USD per word. This means a 1000-word piece would cost $60 USD. Copyediting: $0.04 USD per word. This means a 1000-word piece with a full editing package would cost $40 USD. For complex research projects, please expect a fee for research efforts. I am flexible with project pricing, so let's chat! This is all subject to change and can be raised or lowered depending on the project. My turnaround time works with your deadline. I'm able to sometimes spit an article out in 7 hours (or way less depending on the project). Let's chat!

I am an experienced and detail-oriented freelance professional with a diverse skill set in content writing, data compiling, literature review, AI platform training, and manuscript editing. I am seeking opportunities to deliver high-quality work. I have over ten years of research experience in biochemistry, biologics, biomedical engineering, biosensors, nanotechnology, and bioimaging, focusing on the treatment of diseases and complications, including cancer, ischemic stroke, obesity, and type 1 diabetes.
