Testimonials
I did my Master 2 bioinformatics internship at the Marseille Medical Genetics Center (MMG) in the Systems Biomedicine team. During this internship, we focused on diseases associated with a premature aging phenotype. We were able to highlight various molecular processes disrupted during premature aging, such as DNA repair, the cell cycle and cell-to-cell communication.
