Great day in my life!! Finally defended my Ph.D.!
I can’t do this without the guidance of my Ph.D. advisor @traingene and my co-advisor @sedlazeck!
I’ll soon join @sedlazeck’s group at as an postdoc focusing on cancer genetics and cancer epigenetics.

Only at #CINEMAParis, live @nanopore sequencing run of a zymo mock microbiome by @Scalene next to lighting talk session🔥
We will dive into bioinformatics methods for environmental and clinical microbiome analysis over the next few days !
(Ps. @Scalene said it was a good run!)
