Summary

Driven by a passion for translational research, I obtained experience in specialized molecular and cellular techniques, within a laboratory and academic context. Due to the constant changes and need for adaptation to new methods quickly, I consider myself a fast-learner and with high adaptability to constant changing environments. After a long preparation both theoretically and practically in the field of biomedical science, I believe I will be able to ambitiously apply all these skills in a more specialized business.
