Profile Summary

I graduated in Biological Sciences (B.S.), specialized in biotechnology, and have a Master's and a PhD (in progress) in Molecular Oncology, working with research in the area of lung cancer. During my graduate studies I acquired experience in performing PCR and Sanger sequencing, as well as extracting DNA and RNA from paraffin-embedded tissue and DNA from blood during my time as a biologist in the Molecular Diagnostics department and throughout my master's and doctoral studies. I also have experience with genetic ancestry analysis and performing next generation sequencing. I am currently working with oncogenicity classification of variants identified in lung cancer patients. In the last few years I have published 3 papers as first author, and a book chapter. I have experience with association statistics (chi-square, Fisher and logistic regression) and survival statistics (Kaplan-Meier, Log-Rank and Cox Regression) using SPSS software, as well as data collection and storage in the RedCap Platform, where I am responsible for the handling and creation of the databases used by my research group. Furthermore, I have been mentoring a student of scientific initiation for the last two years.
