Then I went to @EPFL in #Lausanne #Switzerland to study the topic that got me interested in #MolecularGenetics and #EvoDevo, #HoxGenes with @DenisDuboule (#InHoxWeTrust).
Now I am a Senior Scientist at @TesseraTx in #Boston doing the #BioTech thing. I have a budding interest in #Retrotransposons and #Retroposition.
