Hey, I'm Furkan 👋
I am a molecular biologist and geneticist with solid research experience and a programming background.
After working as a computational biologist and data scientist at
a rare disease research laboratory and
at OmicEra Diagnostics , respectively,
I am currently employed at Exact Sciences as a Researcher and Data Scientist.
The ultimate goal of my work is to combine the power of computation with mysterious biological questions to uncover the unknown.
So, let's continue 🧬
debugging DNA software!
