About me

I am a bioinformatician and evolutionary biologist with a great interst in genomic epidemiology, the molecular evolution of opportunistic pathogens and the dynamics of mobile genetic elements. Besides that, I love nature, photography and music, especially live music and I am never tired of finding new challenges and expanding my knowledge.
