'My time at ICGEB has been transformational. I'm grateful to Dr. Stefano Cacciatore, and to the rest of the Bioinformatics Unit at , who have been generous with their time, encouraging, and genuinely inspiring to work with. I've learned an enormous amount here: building analysis pipelines in R, the fundamentals of cancer research and computational histopathology, and scientific writing'.
