I am an Enthusiastic Molecular and Structural Biologist with a strong foundation in both academic teaching and research. Currently, I serve as an Assistant Lecturer at Western Balkan University in Tirana, Albania, where I am dedicated to delivering high-quality lectures and developing comprehensive curricula for the Department of Technology and Business. Additionally, I work as a DNA Specialist at the Forensic Center Albania, applying my expertise in forensic DNA analysis for paternity and kinship determination, providing consultancy in criminal and civil cases. 

 My academic journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology from “Universiteti i Tiranës”, followed by a Master of Science in Molecular Diagnostics and Biotechnology from “Università degli Studi di Camerino”, Italy. I am currently finishing a PhD in Molecular Biology and Biomedicine at the University of the Basque Country, Spain. My doctoral research, conducted at CIC bioGUNE, focused on the structural dynamics of protein synthesis using advanced techniques such as NMR, X-ray crystallography, and cryo-EM. During my PhD, I gained extensive laboratory experience, mastering various molecular biology techniques including cloning, mutagenesis, PCR, and in vitro transcription-translation. I also developed expertise in biochemical methods such as protein expression and purification, as well as the aforementioned structural biology techniques. 

In my role at the Forensic Center Albania - FCA, I employ molecular biology techniques to sequence and compare human DNA profiles, ensuring accurate and reliable results for forensic investigations. This role has further honed my skills in DNA analysis, statistical interpretation, and the scientific rigor necessary for forensic applications and beyond. My experience in this field brings significant value to the academic and research domains, enabling me to contribute to the development of new research methodologies and enhance teaching processes with in-depth, practical knowledge from the field of molecular forensics. 

I have contributed to numerous scientific publications and have presented my research at international conferences, showcasing findings on ribosomal complexes and antibiotic resistance mechanisms. 

Proficient in multiple languages, including Albanian, English, Italian, and Spanish, I possess a diverse skill set encompassing adaptability, problem-solving, critical thinking, and effective communication. My dedication to both teaching and research underscores my commitment to advancing the academic and scientific community.
