about me

Hey! I'm Murto.

I'm a final term student at the University of Waterloo studying Biotechnology & Economics, with a focus on computational biology and data science.

I'm passionate about entrepreneurship and using biology as a technology to solve real-world problems, so I'm always looking for opportunities to learn and grow in the world of compbio. I'm also a huge travel enthusiast and love exploring new cities. I've been fortunate enough to visit over 10 countries last year alone, and I can't wait to see more of the world.

I'm currently working on a few projects, including:

• a protein that prevents coffee stains on teeth
• finding natural alpha-glucosidase inhibitors for diabetes treatment
• developing a deep learning model to predict peptide-IDP binding sites

In my spare time, I enjoy writing, staying fit, Muay Thai, and reading about the latest in tech and biotech.
