Martina Conte
Postdoctoral Fellow
Welcome into my BioMathWorld
I would define myself as a biomathematician. I am deeply interested in the study of topics arising from biological and medical problems, valuing both the modeling and the numerical aspects. I particularly believe in the importance of working in interdisciplinary teams and in the combination of theoretical and experimental knowledge.
