Profile Summary

As a Biomedical Data Scientist at a health tech start-up, I collaborated with cross-functional teams to perform various tasks. These included conducting literature reviews to identify bioinformatics tools and methods, analyzing experimental data from laboratory studies, and designing and implementing algorithms for cancer prognosis and diagnosis (using R and Python). Before, during my PhD, I focused on using computational biology tools to model oncological omics data, moving towards personalized medicine. Before that, I worked on a wet lab set, with my master's thesis centered on studying synaptic plasticity in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease.
