I had the chance to live and graduate from a university in Istanbul, Turkey, and apply my skills in companies around the world: I was lucky to survive in a Siberian forest and Middle East desert, had a fantastic work and life experience in the US and the UK, and now it’s a huge privilege to be part of a an exciting journey called bioinformatics within Genestack.
