About

Living in a world with huge amounts of data also in the biomedical area, we must make the most of all these information. This will only be possible by developing new data-centered technologies and applying them to better understand human health and disease. I am motivated to contributing to improving human health and wellbeing, working with a dynamic and ambitious team. The more knowledge we build, new treatments and prevention strategies will be possible, improving the health of people all around the world.
