Unraveling Biological Enigmas

Hi there! I'm a scientist with a PhD in Biomedical Science, and I enjoy using computers to solve biological puzzles. Currently, I'm at SciLifeLab, diving into the fascinating world of women's health.

My current project? It's all about the tiny organisms living in the vagina. These little critters play a huge role in keeping women healthy. Using clever computer programs, I'm figuring out which combinations of these microbes are linked to good health, and which might cause problems.

I'm also playing detective with these microbes' family trees. By examining their genetic blueprints, I'm piecing together how they're related and where they came from. It's like solving a million-year-old mystery!

This exciting work could lead to better ways of keeping women healthy and treating problems. Who knew such tiny organisms could be so important?
