Mahdi Morshedi Yekta
Founder & Lead AuthorI'm a medical biotechnologist, researcher, scientific tool developer, and scientific visual designer with interests in bioinformatics, computational biology, data visualization, and scientific communication.
I founded Science Codons in 2022 to make practical scientific resources more accessible to researchers and students.
Alongside research and tool development, I also create scientific visualizations and graphical abstracts, turning complex biological concepts, workflows, and research findings into clear and engaging graphics.
