I write and illustrate at the intersection of epigenetics, chromatin biology, and cellular aging — synthesising primary literature into structured, open-access publications hosted on OSF.
My work spans science writing and scientific illustration, with a focus on making complex molecular biology accessible without sacrificing rigour. I produce original figures for publications and visual essays covering epigenetic mechanisms, aging pathways, and chromatin-level regulation of gene expression.
Methodological focus: literature synthesis · computational annotation · figure design. All publications are openly accessible with permanent DOIs.
All works are preprints hosted on OSF. Not peer-reviewed.
Three-volume systematic review: hallmarks framework, regulatory pathways (mTOR, sirtuins, AMPK), and current rejuvenation interventions.
Critical survey of biotechnologies at the frontier of human physiology — gene editing, neural interfaces, and substrate-level intervention — with analysis of technical feasibility and regulatory landscape.
Analytical notes on Horvath (2013) — training set composition, CpG site selection criteria, and the biological interpretation of cross-tissue age convergence.
Close reading of the revised 12-hallmark framework — with attention to the causal hierarchy placing epigenetic alterations upstream of downstream hallmarks.
Original figures produced to accompany publications and visual essays on epigenetics and aging biology.
