ABOUT ME

I am learning how to discover drugs using computers, PhD student in Bioinformatics and computational biology. I am from Mali but live currently in South Africa (in a small nice city (superb landscape for cycling) Grahamstown) where I study.
I am easy going, like to meet new people and have interesting discussion (deep ones ;-) ) about anything. It's interesting for me to see how other people do thing in their culture and learn from them. I like to visit new places, try new food, or to have great discussion.
I like walking outside, hiking, good meals (everybody I think), cycling, soccer and I have geek tendency.
