Personal profile
Expertise
I'm a scientific researcher with a biomedical background. I have developed a broad interest and
knowledge in the (patho)biology and development of diseases and cancer. I am currently involved in the molecular and genetic profiling of solid and hematological cancers, both in diagnostic and research setting. During my past projects, I was involved in concept designing, coordinating projects, designing and conducting scientific experiments. I gained experience in a wide variety of cellular and molecular assays to address cellular, biochemical and molecular processes and drug-related mechanisms. I also gained experience in bio-informatics including analysis of microarray and next-generation sequencing.
