Immunology-trained researcher transitioning to AI and data science roles.
BrazilWhat I'm looking for
I am a Ph.D.-trained biochemist with over a decade of experience in immunology, oncology, and translational research, now transitioning into data science and artificial intelligence. I have led neuroimmunology and metabolomics projects, contributed to tumor-biomarker and HIV remission studies, published in peer-reviewed journals, and supervised students.
I am building practical AI and data-science skills—Python, NumPy, Pandas, machine learning, NLP and generative AI (Gemini)—and seek to apply these to health-focused and cybersecurity-aware AI solutions. I combine scientific rigor, teaching and stakeholder engagement experience with growing technical proficiency to deliver data-driven impact.
