Hi, I'm Lathursha! I'm a Master's student passionate about genetics, genomics, and bioinformatics!
🪴 Completed a Master's in Medical Genomics (MHSc) at the University of Toronto, where I explored variant interpretation, bioinformatics for medical research, and data science for clinical applications.
🌱 Background in Forensic Biology (HBSc) from the University of Toronto Mississauga, where I formally began using computational tools to solve biological challenges for forensic casework and population genetics.
🍀 Interested in leveraging bioinformatics to investigate complex diseases, to inform patient care, and to develop personalized treatment strategies.
