Francesco Bettella

  • Senior engineer; PhD

Francesco Bettella studied theoretical physics at the University of Padova, Italy, but was later seduced by the allure of bioinformatics. The academic market further led him to deCODE genetics where he learned the ways of human DNA, and eventually to OUS, where he is currently trying to find his path.
