In the last 4 years I have contributed to multiple projects in the field of genome instability, cancer and ageing resulting in nine publications in peer-reviewed journals. My contribution in these publications involved conceptual thinking, experimental work (bioinformatic analysis using ScanR and Spotfire softwares) and help with scientific writing.
