Irina Vladimirovna Smolina
Senior Engineer
Faculty of Biosciences and Aquaculture
In a wide sense I´m a geneticist with strong interest in molecular ecology and practical skills in molecular lab and data analysis. I´m aiming to help researchers to brigde molecular lab and bioinformatics, since often decisions in the first influence workflow in the second. Google Scholar ResearchGate
