INTRODUCTION
Our lab lies at the intersection of machine learning, genomics and oral medicine, but essentially what we do every day is to turn coffee into code 😃
We believe biology is a “small” science; that’s why we adopt the principle of agile software development, bringing “wet” and “dry” labs together for novel biological insights
