About

At Stellenbosch University, I lead three concurrent biomedical research pipelines, from project conceptualization and experimental design through execution, statistical analysis, and reporting. I oversee daily laboratory operations, including inventory and supplier procurement, and maintain adherence to ethical guidelines, data integrity protocols, and Good Laboratory Practice. My research uses methods including Western blotting, qPCR, vascular reactivity assays, and H9c2 cell culture. I analyze biological datasets with Microsoft Excel and GraphPad Prism and prepare statistical models, figures, and technical reports. I also manage preclinical animal welfare procedures under SAVC training, present research at scientific conferences, and mentor junior researchers and students in laboratory procedures and safety.
