Working Experience

My work has focused on harnessing advanced technologies like Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to drive groundbreaking discoveries in biology. This background has equipped me to tackle complex challenges, deliver exceptional results, and advance scientific knowledge. I am particularly eager to contribute to transformative research projects in Natural Products Chemistry, where I can apply my expertise to elucidate the metabolic pathways that govern the formation of key compounds in plants and microbes.
