About me

I am a molecular biologist by training. I love doing science and specifically
the moment that you say "Finally, got it" !
Apart from science, I love photography very much.

Research

I like investigating single cell transcriptomics, including small non-coding
RNAs. I have developed some methodology to profile and characterize mRNAs and
small RNAs in single cells (Smart-seq2 &
Small-seq)
