Lilia Jimsherishvili is a young researcher of the One Health Institute (OHI) of the University of Georgia, in Tbilisi, Georgia. |
Working at OHI’s in-silico laboratory has been both a challenging and deeply rewarding process. It has allowed me to exercise, apply, and broaden the knowledge and technical skills I have gained during my undergraduate studies in Biochemistry.
Engaging in molecular epidemiology research is an integral part of understanding the challenges concerning biosecurity, as well as public and environmental health. Through Bioinformatic analysis conducted in the in-silico laboratory, I have cultivated skills such as data analysis, problem solving, and analysis of various pathogens, viruses, and bacteria, which I believe is an integral part of being a scientist.
As a member of OHI’s team, I have had an opportunity to engage in pioneering research, which I am confident will significantly contribute to both my country, and the global scientific community.
