I am a molecular virologist and data scientist with over eight years of experience and my studies are bound to molecular barcodes, which are molecular tags, enabling the achievement of research with resolution of single viruses. Together with in silico modeling and AI-based approaches, my laboratory investigates the mechanistic interplay between viruses (i.e. HIV-1 and SARS-CoV-2) and the host genome, with the emphasis on (1) the investigation of latent HIV-1 reservoirs and stochastic HIV-1 transcription and (2) the identification of functional annotations of SARS-CoV-2 mutational signatures responsible for cross-species transmission.

 

In the meantime, I fancy performing scientific illustration and fine art. One of my interests is to combine science and art. To date, I have held my exhibitions and participated in international Art showcases in Barcelona, London, Berlin...etc. Many of my artworks have been published as cover images in national peer-viewed journals and posters used in national conferences and courses. Moreover, I give lectures and workshops regarding Art, Science, and Data Visualisation for academics and general.​
