About Dipak Maskey

Experienced Cell and Molecular Biology PhD Scientist with a demonstrated history of working in the biomedical research. Expertise in Molecular biology, cell biology, renal physiology, renal disease, gene therapy, many other cell and molecular biology techniques including CRISPR/Cas9-gene editing technology, and Next-generation sequencing. Enthusiastic team player, exceptional science communicator, organized and focused worker. My mission is to use science to help people. I am a subject matter expert in issues of genetic disease, metabolic disease, and aging and have worked within numerous therapeutic areas. My extensive background in teaching and passion for medical communications allows me to excel at conveying complex scientific concepts to audiences of various backgrounds and has led to multiple recognitions and awards for public speaking, scientific outreach, and scholarly achievements.Self-motivated with over 10 years of rigorous laboratory research training and a strong publication record in peer-reviewed top-tier journals, I bring a unique combination of cell and molecular biology expertise, gene therapy, and project management insight to convey clinically relevant information to healthcare practitioners. Proactive and accountable researcher with 10+ years of experience working in multicultural environments, executing research in academia, resulting in 10 (5 published, 5 pending) Journal publications, 25+ poster presentations and 5 conference publications. Creative individual with a detail-oriented mindset towards information processing and data analysis to develop a methodology of product management and formulation and testing of small molecules. I believe that molecular biology is the fundamental basic science to improve human health and disease. I am open for exciting opportunities in industry to invest and translate my cutting-edge scientific skills into a product that helps people and makes a difference. I wish to contribute as Research Scientist/an Application Scientist in gene therapy, drug development, Cancer, Molecular and cell biology, and metabolic diseases.Connect with me in LI or e-mail me at d••••••••@gmail.com.
