About
Hello! I'm Fatima, a PhD Candidate at Medical College of Wisconsin. My research leverages bioinformatic approaches to investigate interactions between xenobiotics, the microbiome, and energy expenditure. Ultimately, I would like to become a research scientist or consultant. I've created this porfolio to showcase my skills and diversify my experiences in Python, SQL, and more.
