Hire the Best Research & Development Freelancers in Illinois

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.
