Résumé
I am an educated research scientist with a broad background in biotechnology. I hold two masters (genetics
and oncology) and a PhD degree in molecular biology. After a one year post doc, I worked in a medium scale
biotech company for two years. Due to the closing down of the company, I have been working at Aarhus University
since then. However, I realize I would like to pursue my career in research where my background as a scientist could
be used to analyze and use the scientific data for analysis and further product development.
My relevant personal skills are that I am dedicated and focused at work combined to a high sense of being a
team player with a great sense of humor. I am energetic, well organized, open minded and I appreciate being in an
international environment. I like searching and coming up with solutions to different tasks.
