About the research

Celine's curiosity and creativity made her interested in the functioning of our body, more specifically that of cells. She studied Biochemistry and Biotechnology and specialised in bioinformatics and systems biology. Computers are used to unravel biological processes. With computer power she tries to find targeted cancer medications, as well as traces of cancer genes in our blood.
