About Me
As an avian virology and bioinformatics explorer, I love navigating through the dense jungles of research data. My compass? A background in Veterinary Medicine , laboratory expertise in Conventional Virology/Microbiology and a certification in Bioinformatics with approved credits focused on programming languages and “omics” data analysis. My mission? To explore innovative solutions for the complex avian health challenges. My backpack? Filled with academic research and hands-on technical experience. I look forward to fellow adventurers and collaborators who are as passionate about avian medicine as I am.
