MOBILE GENOMES
'We investigate the patterns and mechanisms of genomic variation in disease'
My interest in bioinformatics started while working in my BSc thesis about biomedical image analysis, where I used machine learning to identify macular edema regions in OCT scans. Since then, I've been learning more about biology in my MSc degree and looking for ways to apply my computer science's knowledge in this field. I am currently working on the detection of genetic variants responsible for transmissibility on a project that studies the genetic mechanisms of transmissible cancer.
