Hello, I am Isabel, and I am currently pursing a Master’s degree. My academic interests are centered around genetics, with a particular focus in forensic genetics. 

I am involved in a research project studying gene expression in E. coli with a focus on how sequence features influence protein production at the translation level, including mechanisms such as alternative translation initiation. Through this work, I have gained experience in molecular biology techniques and developed a deeper understanding of gene regulation.

Outside the lab, I enjoy traveling, trying new foods and spending time with friends and family. I also have a strong interest in painting and reading, and I enjoy visiting botanical gardens.
