      I do! Most of my research has been dedicated to help deal with cancer. I work with many other scientist and doctors, and together I help them unravel knowledge from data that has been acquired from patients. For example we discovered together a way to identify at an early stage whether a treatment was working or not on patients suffering from brain cancer, and our models were very accurate! The importance of this is that if you know early enough that a therapy or treatment is not working, doctors can decide to try alternatives, which will help the patient. To me this is the most amazing part of my job.
