Feedback

As a Med-P student, my internship at C3G allowed me to explore the intersection of two fields I am deeply passionate about: informatics and medicine. Learning to use cutting-edge bioinformatics tools like GenPipes to analyze huge genomics data was not only exciting, but also really empowering at this stage of my career. Needless to say, this internship played a defining role in shaping the path I seek to pursue.
