I am Dr. Paul, a biotechnologist advancing breast cancer research through molecular biology, computational science, and data science. With expertise in PCR-based molecular techniques, DNA fingerprinting, and protein biochemistry, I uncover the molecular drivers of breast cancer to inspire therapeutic breakthroughs. My work blends computer-aided drug design, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations with data-driven analysis to deepen biological insights. I’m also investigating the role of the oral microbiome in breast cancer, exploring its impact on disease and treatment. As a passionate educator, I mentor the next generation of scientists. Welcome to my space, where I share my research and teaching journey.
