I am a Biotechnology undergraduate student that will be graduating May 2016. I plan to pursue a Ph.D. degree in Bioinformatics or other fields that include bioinformatics analysis in the research. Ultimately, I will be a professor and a researcher. My goal is to have a significant impact in my field and also share my knowledge with future scientists.
