Over Kirsten Van Huffel:

Highly motivated to improve my skills in data analysis and machine learning within a technical role, ideally in a biotech setting (the perfect combo aligning my main interests). Currently I'm working as a project manager AI, where I have gained valuable experience in managing projects with a commercial focus.
