# Bio
## Occupation
If you look at my Master's degree, you would say I am a biotechnologist with a specialization in pharmacology. However, I've done all but biotechnology since my graduation. I started working "at the bench", first with biochemistry then with cellular biology. I've since then got a Ph.D. in Molecular Medicie and moved to bioinformatics, and I've been involved with the intricacies of data analysis of DNA variation and structure from high throughput parallel sequencing.
What do I do? It's hard to tell even to my peers, but I'll try...
I am currently working as a senior scientist in [the Translational Genomics Unit](http://www.marionegri.it/en_US/home/research_en/dipartimenti_en/oncology/cancer_pharmacology/translational_genomic_unit) at the [IRCCS "Mario Negri" Pharmacological Research Institute](http://www.marionegri.it), a research no-profit.
Simplest definition: I am a researcher working in the field of the life sciences. I got a Master's degree in Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, but I've done all but biotechnology since my graduation. In the early days I worked "at the bench", doing what amounted to be work in biochemistry and cellular biology. Then I got a Ph.D. in Molecular Medicine. Although that did not make me any smarter, it was a turning point in my career: I moved from the bench work, lab instruments and reagents to computers. In other words, I became involved in [bioinformatics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioinformatics).
For those interested, [you can view my resume](http://www.dennogumi.org/cv.pdf).

Getting into more details would make it very technical and boring, but if you're in the field, you can look up my name in specialized search engines like [Google Scholar](https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=it&user=I0TqfOgAAAAJ&view_op=list_works) if you're more interested.

## Free Software
I'm quite involved in Free Software, in particular in [KDE](https://www.kde.org) and (openSUSE)(https://www.opensuse.org), but also to other FOSS projects.
