Summary

A background in biomedicine and molecular medicine, with large interest towards drug design and development. I've had the fortunate chance to develop my skills not only in wet lab, but also in computer-aided molecular modeling, providing a well-balanced understanding and application of both worlds.

Very good presenter and can work along with all types of people within a teamwork setting.
