About me
I am a molecular biologist (Ph.D.) with a flair for data science.
With several years of experience in biotech and biopharma research,
I am passionate about data analysis and data visualisation (well,
everything related to data science in general).
As for my molecular biologist profile, I have deep expertise in genetic engineering, high-throughput screenings
and fluorescence microscopy.
I am a really curious person who loves learning new skills and facing new challenges.
