Hello, my name is Jillian and I am currently working on my Ph.D. in cellular and molecular pharmacology. My research focuses on understanding mechanisms regulating metastasis of solid tumors and designing novel therapeutic delivery systems using nanotechnology which only target cancer cells. In regards to writing, I have taken courses on communicating science to the general public, have first-authored several text book chapters, review articles, and co-authored several original research articles. Previously, I worked for a company which developed and produced raw materials for cosmetics which included skin creams. I then spent several years working in drug development for one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies. There, I was involved in project management for drugs in development for treatment of cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes mellitus, and infectious diseases. Further, I have completed a masters in biotechnology with a focus on the molecular biology of cancer.
In regards to this project, I would begin by researching the biology and chemistry of the indicated compound before reviewing the literature available for clinical trials. I am familiar with and have experience using PubMed, Google Scholar, and EndNote and feel I can easily and quickly meet your needs and standards. Because of my strong scientific background and good communication skills I believe I would be an asset to your company.
