Our client in this case was a postdoctoral associate scientist in the field of genetics and evolutionary biology. She holds a PhD degree and has extensive experience in the field of genetics and neurobiology. This client wished to continue her research, on the molecular and genetic characteristics of the brain of the nematode C. elegans as a model organism at a major medical institute. In regards to her work, experts in her shared field have stated: “Dr. X's tier-one academic qualifications, existing achievements and commitment to research and development, indicate a valuable skill-set that has produced new bio-imaging technology, provided useful modeling tools, and added significantly to the literature on molecular biology.” This expertise is further illustrated by her numerous published articles including three peer-reviewed articles published in leading journals in the field, a book chapter, and a conference presentation. Our team was also able to secure recommendation letters that highlighted the importance for this professional's continued research. As a result, this case was approved in less than 2 months!
