Cellular biology, communication and quantitative function.

Portrait of Ronald Saraswat

I am a cell and molecular biologist whose research has developed across Ireland, France and Germany.

My work connects cellular stress and ageing, extracellular-vesicle biology, quantitative molecular profiling and functional mammalian cell-based assays. I am particularly interested in experimentally rigorous approaches that make biological mechanisms measurable and interpretable.

Current Status

Based in Paris, France. Open to research scientist, postdoctoral, scientific collaboration and translational biomedical R&D opportunities.

Research

Four connected areas of experimental work.

A programme linking altered cellular states, intercellular communication, functional readouts and molecular discovery.

Endothelial Ageing & Senescence

Primary human endothelial-cell models used to investigate cellular ageing, senescence and downstream biological effects.

Extracellular Vesicles

EV preparation, characterisation and recipient-cell experiments focused on intercellular communication.

Functional Cell Biology

Quantitative reporter-based mammalian cell assays for evaluating functional intracellular delivery.

Proteomics & Molecular Discovery

Quantitative molecular profiling, pathway-level interpretation and biological prioritisation of extracellular-vesicle protein data.

Research Details Scientific Journey

Publications

Selected scholarly work.

Published work spans protein biochemistry, extracellular-vesicle biology and collaborative thrombosis research.

A first-author manuscript on age-associated endothelial extracellular-vesicle proteomics and function is currently under peer review.

Scientific Tools & Visualisation

From analytical figures to conceptual communication.

Two complementary approaches: data-driven analysis and conceptual scientific illustration.

VennScope

I independently developed VennScope for transparent comparison of gene, protein and other identifier sets. It supports Venn and UpSet visualisation, intersection inspection, explicit identifier mapping, overlap statistics and publication-oriented export.

Omics-derived intersections can be exported for downstream Gene Ontology or pathway-enrichment workflows in dedicated analysis tools.

Conceptual Scientific communication

Open Scientific Visuals

A developing collection of scientifically reviewed, AI-assisted conceptual illustrations for education, presentations and public science communication. These visuals explain biological concepts rather than represent experimental data.

Science & Community

Gene & Tonic Cité and scientific outreach.

I co-founded Gene & Tonic Cité, a resident-led Life Sciences and Medicine community at the Cité internationale universitaire de Paris.

The programme combines accessible scientific presentations, discussion, networking and science-oriented community activities.

Looking Ahead

Mechanistic biology, quantitative experimentation and translational R&D.

My developing scientific direction connects mechanistic cell and molecular biology with quantitative experimentation, molecular profiling and technology-enabled approaches.

I am particularly interested in ageing biology, immunology of ageing and disease, advanced cell-based systems, quantitative imaging and research that can inform therapeutics, diagnostics and other biomedical technologies.
