I'm Afroza Begum, a PhD-trained molecular biologist and biotechnologist with expertise in molecular biology, biochemistry, and interdisciplinary scientific research. I design experiments, analyze complex datasets, and interpret results using advanced analytical techniques such as NMR spectroscopy, GC, and ICP-MS. I thrive at the intersection of biology and technology, translating scientific insights into practical applications and robust AI training workflows. Today, I serve as an AI Trainer in life sciences, curating scientific datasets, validating model outputs, and creating domain-specific training scenarios to advance AI tools in molecular biology and biochemistry. Previously, as a Doctoral Researcher at the University of Sheffield, I engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains to produce polyhydroxybutyrate from rice wastewater and collaborated with international teams to interpret data and generate insights.
