Working with Gina was awesome! Extremely knowledgeable and always ready to solve a problem highly recommend if your looking for someone in the sequencing area.
Is your company or lab in the northeast of the USA, looking for a skilled research associate with extensive experience with Nanopore and PacBio microbiome sequencing? I highly recommend Dr. Gina Filloramo who is leaving the IMR to live closer to home!
