Jakob Jersild Nielsen
Hi! I'm a graduate bioinformatician with a passion for unravelling the complexities of biological data. Both my Bachelor's and Master's projects have been focused on exploring and analysing next-generation sequencing data, which has laid the foundation to my technical abilities and sparked an immense interest and curiosity in the field. I believe in continuous learning and I dedicate time daily to further refine my skills and stay updated with the latest tools and technologies.
