I'm Itxaso, I was born in the Basque Country, north part of Spain, more specifically in Barakaldo. I moved to Barcelona for my bachelor's degree in Biomedical Sciences in the Biology Faculty of the University of Barcelona. I'm currently pursuing my Master's degree in Bioinformatics for Health Sciences at Universitat Pompeu Fabra.

I'm passionate about combining biology, programming, and data analysis to better understand complex biological systems. I enjoy the challenge of making biological data tell a clear story.

I consider myself resourceful and hard-working, committed to delivering high-quality work. I thrive in multidisciplinary environments and value teamwork as a space for continuous growth. My goal is to deepen my expertise in bioinformatics and become an efficient, well-rounded professional in the field.

I'm specially interested in Genetics, Statistics and Epidemiology. However, I'm always open to new challenges and opportunities to expand my knowledge in this beautiful field.
