Hello there, welcome to @DamienLegros profile!

You can download my CV here!

I’m working on the protein universe to find novel protein families with new functions as a PhD at VIB.AI in Pereira Lab.

I’m passionate about utilizing my expertise in data science to extract valuable information from complex medical and biological data. I thrive on projects that bridge the gap between data science and the life sciences.
