About Me

Lesther Ouma

Aspiring Computational Biologist

I'm a Computer Science student with a minor in Human Biology, passionate about leveraging technology to solve complex biological problems. Currently pursuing my BS at Sattler College, I focus on interdisciplinary applications of computer science in biological research.

My experience spans from developing data analysis tools for neurological research at Massachusetts General Hospital to creating bioinformatics solutions for image analysis. I believe in the power of data-driven approaches to advance our understanding of life sciences.

When I'm not coding or analyzing data, you'll find me exploring the latest research in computational biology or sipping coffee while hanging out with friends. I'm always eager to connect with like-minded individuals and explore new opportunities in the field.
