Biography

He is bioinformatician in the Carbone group working on ChIP sequencing data analysis with the aim to decipher the network of genes and miRNAs directly affected by the ETS transcription factors. He earned his PhD at the University of California, Riverside, and was postdoc at the University of Texas, Medical Branch. In his free time he builds his own hardware to crunch bitcoins
