Hi! My name is Fernanda.
I am a PhD researcher at the Molecular Systems Evolution Group at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology. I am interested in evolutionary biology, and my current work aims to infer the rate of evolution of gene expression noise using single-cell transcriptomics data.
