Welcome to my website

Hello there! I'm Alexa, currently immersing myself in the world of bioinformatics through my MSc at Pompeu Fabra University. Before this, I explored the intricacies of Molecular Bionics Engineering for my BSc and dived deep into bioinformatics applications in health sciences. My journey has been filled with hands-on research, from analyzing RNA modifications in human diseases to understanding miRNAs' pathogenetic roles in inflammatory diseases. Alongside my academic pursuits, I've honed my skills as a Software Engineer & Scrum Master, and embarked on an enriching R&D traineeship. I've been fortunate to contribute to and learn from various projects, and be an ambassador for the Association of Hungarian Women in Science. Welcome to my digital space!
