CHRISTODOULOS AMOURGIANOS

Summary

Chemist by training, Forensic Biologist by curiosity, and Bioinformatician by choice—armed with a cross-disciplinary toolkit spanning molecular diagnostics, computational biology, and chemical synthesis. Comfortable speaking both R and Python, with hands-on experience in genomic data, building predictive algorithms (not structure predictive-yet), and dabbling in structural bioinformatics using tools like AlphaFold. I’ve navigated both research labs and industry floors, from pipettes to pipelines. Not claiming to know everything—but I learn fast, ask the right questions, and love turning complex data into real-world impact. Looking to join a team where curiosity is currency and science meets strategy.
