About me

I’ve always been interested and curious about how the little molecules in our body work in symphony in order for us live. Biotechnology not only teaches me about that whole World, but it also allows me to use that knowledge to apply in biological and artificial methods. With these methods, I hope to help the environment and the people with all sorts of problems.
