PhD in Medical Microbiology and Molecular Virology. I bridge the gap between bench-level scientific rigor and high-level institutional operations. The Operational & Strategic Lens My career is defined by the intersection of discovery and infrastructure. I led a laboratory accreditation group for six years, navigating complex international standards and biosafety protocols. With an Associate Degree in Project Management (GWU), I apply formal frameworks to research workflows, ensuring that scientific ambition is supported by structural excellence. Thought Leadership I am the author of Research Beyond the Buzz, a newsletter deconstructing the structural realities of biomedical research. My focus is on transforming lab output into scholarly influence through operational discipline: [https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/myth-perfect-workflow-why-your-labs-biggest-obstacle-isnt-kamkar-duawf].
