Awa DiopPhD · Biochemist · Founder
My path began in Senegal and took me through research and training across Europe and Canada. The thread has always been the same: a desire to understand—and to make that understanding useful.
With a PhD in Biochemistry and two master’s degrees, I work at the intersection of research, scientific writing and project coordination. I value careful evidence, thoughtful collaboration and communication that respects its audience.
As the founder of TerraNoor, I’m exploring how African botanical knowledge can inform responsible, science-led innovation. It is one expression of a wider commitment: science that serves people.

MY APPROACH
Clear thinking. Careful work.
A collaborative process, shaped around your scientific question and the people you want to reach.
Understand the brief
Clarify the objective, audience, scope and timeline. A useful result starts with a shared understanding.
Follow the evidence
Review sources, organize the findings and develop a clear narrative with traceable references.
Refine together
Work through feedback, check the details and deliver content that supports your next step.
