What I'm looking for

I’m interested in computational genomics, evolutionary biology, and biomedical research, with the long-term goal of pursuing a PhD.

At University of Primorska, FAMNIT, I’m studying bioinformatics and building computational projects in Python and Biopython. My FASTA Sequence Analyzer examines nucleotide composition, GC/AT content, reverse complements, and translation, with sequence validation and CSV export.

I’ve also implemented pairwise DNA sequence alignment and analyzed human and chimpanzee mitochondrial COX1 sequences. As a Laboratory Assistant at Hospital Dr. Organdziski, I assisted with blood and urine sample handling and biochemical analyses; I’m interested in computational genomics, evolutionary biology, and biomedical research.
