Freelancer Data Scientist & Biologist - Statistics, Python, Machine Learning, Deep Learning

Profile Summary

Biologist and Data Scientist in the Health and Biomedical sector. Very deep domain expertise in infectious diseases, diabetes, metabolism, nutrition and bioinformatics; coupled with a strong grounding in data analysis.

I co-authored 23 scientific papers and worked for TANDEM project funded by the European Commission (http://tandem-fp7.eu/consortium/mpiib/).

Health Domain Expertise:
- +10 years of experience working in the best healthcare research institutes managing international research projects and fostering international collaborations.
- Team leader of a work package of the TANDEM consortium, a European Union's Research and Innovation funding program, in an international and interdisciplinary team (http://tandem-fp7.eu/consortium/mpiib/). 
- Diabetes patients have a 3-fold increased risk of developing tuberculosis. By 2030 there will be 400 million diabetic patients so I researched the link between the two diseases.

Data Science Skills:
- Python, R, SQL
- Biostatistics, Bioinformatics, Biopython
- Machine learning; Scikit learn
- Neural Networks
- Portfolio Project: ‘Health patterns in 50 years of global data’, http://slides.com/mbeigier/deck
