A Startup is a company that is confused about product, customers & to make money.
– Dace Mcclure –
I am a researcher, educator, and academic entrepreneur specializing in early-career researcher development. With expertise in molecular biology, scientific writing, biotechnology, and research leadership, I design programs that improve research skills, publication readiness, academic visibility, and career planning. Over the past 15+ years, I have worked across universities, scientific journals, and tech-enabled education platforms to support researchers in building sustainable, competitive careers. My focus areas include research mentorship, academic publishing, transdisciplinary learning, innovation ecosystems, and knowledge-based development.
