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.
