About me

I am a Ph.D. student in the Molecular Aging group at MEB. My doctoral project
focuses on repurposing drugs for Alzheimer's disease using causal inference
methods. My research interests are in identifying risk factors and potential
treatments for aging and age-related diseases by using genetic and
epidemiological approaches.
