Profile

I love going for long walks in parks or along rivers! In these places I can spot a lot of cute dogs, either small or big, fluffy or short-haired, and running or chilling.

I also like Biology and understanding how nature works. Life exists in many forms that can look so different, which I find amazing!

For some diseases it can be very difficult to understand what happened to make someone sick. We try to resolve this in a way similar to “I spy”, where we can ask questions and take hints about what could be the way the disease works. We use information from many people from around the world and we can ask a lot of questions.  Because computers are faster than humans in some tasks, we use them every day to ask these questions. Before we start asking these questions we also have to make sure that the information is not wrong. We all make mistakes so we need to be careful to find those mistakes and try to fix them.

As it takes me a while to be fully awake in the morning, I walk to work while I sip my coffee. I share my office with a few people so after having a brief chat about how we are doing, I start by setting up my work. I mainly work with my computer and I write programs that analyse information about a disease. I am currently working on a project that requires me to use a program that can take a long time. So while this is happening, I am checking my emails and deciding which are the most important tasks I need to do that day. I also meet a lot of people to discuss what is the best way to do our jobs so that we can help each other. Some of these people are doctors and others are working in the lab. I finish my day usually by going to the gym, cooking and enjoying a warm cup  of tea (especially now that it starts getting cold outside).
